Jun 25 2011: Your argument of cell phone is generally used against atheist , but "Which Maker " hmmm ?
My point is ( without hurting anyone's feeling ) "how many " , I mean if there are more than 1 ,like 1 to "the right hand " of another , than there will be dispute , One will want to make a tree , but the other want to replace it, because both of them are Almighty and Powerful , in that case there will be chaos.
Jun 25 2011: we can start with " 10 commandments " , This is the first blue print of Global ethics , No one will disagree with this , or , atleast majority will agree
The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:2-17 NKJV)
1 “I am the Lord your God. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.
3 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
4 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
5 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
6 “You shall not murder.
7 “You shall not commit adultery.
8 “You shall not steal.
9 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10 “You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.”
----------------------------------------I think this the best and most comprehensive foundation for Global ethics
Jun 25 2011: Yes , but , Then the question comes that of equal ( just ) implementation , ( UDH 1948) , as you mentioned Freedom of Speech and Believe etc. While its OK to discuss every thing in the name of freedom of expression but we have excluded "same " issues . We discus God , religion believe but there are things which you cannot discuss
I personally thing that U N has lost its validity , its un democratic , we can't leave issue of Global ethics to UN, I think we need forums like these where people can come together and discuss , only then can we form Global ethics.
Jun 24 2011: I think it is complex and simple at the same time, complex because for global ethics first we have come to an agreement what is good and bad .Now the concept of good and bad has always been different at different time and place, Like in the past it was immoral to be homosexual ,even in western society but now it has been excepted to same extend , Similarly different cultures has different standards for morality or good and bad, Like it will be very unethical to kiss once face and hand of a person , if you have met him for the first time , but accepted in money cultures .
It is simple , because we already know some of the universal ethics ,e.g; not to say thank you or sorry, to go naked outside , and there are money things which are common in every time and culture or place ,
one thing which I would suggest is the internet pornography , no one is against banning this , if any global ethics or morality code is made , include banning internet porn in it please...
I thing we must engage in discussion like this , we may disagree with one another but its nice to talk
