I was under the impression that muslins were adhering to the GOLDEN RAIN rule.
Islam contains a version of the golden rule But it also tells its adherents to seize everybody else’s lands ( by armed or immigrant invasions) and to then subjugate or kill them. Unfortunately, the whole world suffers because this “ later” part of the Koran is so well followed by so many Moslems. The golden rule stuff got superseded in the Islam of all these millions of islamoNazi jihadist terrorists and their even larger population of coreligionist supporters. It avails us not one iota to cite the “ earlier” parts of their book that so many Moslems don’t follow and have no intention of ever following.
Not in Anton LaVey’s Satanism.
“If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat them cruelly and without mercy.”
Well, Old Buddha was a man and I'm sure that he meant well But I pray for his disciples lest they wind up in hell And I'm sure that old Mohammed thought he knew the way But it won't be Hare Krishna we stand before on The Judgment Day. No, it won't be old Buddha that's sitting on the throne And it won't be old Mohammed that's calling us Home And it won't be Hare Krishna that plays that trumpet tune And we're going to see The Son not Reverend Moon! Well, I don't hate anybody so please don't take me wrong But there really is a message *in* this simple song You see there's only one way Jesus if eternal life is your goal Meditation of the mind won't save your soul. No, it won't be old Buddha that's sitting on the throne And it won't be old Mohammed that's calling us Home And it won't be Hare Krishna that plays that trumpet tune And we're going to see The Son, not Reverend Moon! Well, you can call yourself a Baptist and not be born again A Presbyterian or a Methodist and still die in your sin You can even be Charismatic shout and dance and jump a few But if you hate your brother you wont be one of The Chosen Few. Cause it won't be a Baptist that's sitting on The Throne A Presbyterian or a Methodist that's calling us Home And it won't be a Charismatic that plays that trumpet tune So let's all just live for Jesus 'cause He's coming back real soon.
not in Islam it aint
It just doesn’t happen to be in Christianity...
Except the cult religion of the Left.
I am so confused. Islam?
Is there a golden beheading sword in there somewhere?
I am curious about Hinduism and the Golden Rule. Namely, does Hinduism have anything approaching or similar to a Golden Rule? Or is it more like, ‘Do unto others however you may please—whether bad, good or indifferent, just go for it’?’
Which accusation, phrased as a question, I found extremely offensive, and more applicable to islam than any other belief-system on the planet.
***Mohandas Gandhi: Peace.***
Every time I hear that name and “Peace” together I remember all those slaughtered innocents in the partition of India.
Nonsense. That couldn't be further from the truth.
In the Masnavi of Islam it is said, “Kill thy neighbor as thyself”
According to the Bible, there are things more important to God than this world being made better. So much evil goes on here that if God’s chief goal was to improve the world He’d have to destroy it and us.
What God’s Word teaches us is that what happens in this world determines what happens in the next. The wheat and tares both grow here, and at the time of Judgment, the wheat will be kept while the tares are cast away.
God’s Word also teaches us that religious actions and good works in themselves mean absolutely nothing to Him. What matter to God is the heart they come from, and its motives. The troubling thing is, though, is that the Bible says our hearts are so evil that we’re deceived to see our motives as pure when they’re not. (Cont’d)
And while many religions, created by man, have some version of the Golden Rule, that really doesn’t mean what it seems to. The Bible says God put His laws in our hearts, and even more importantly, He created us in His image for the purpose of us to have relationship with Him and each other. If we value others at all, we won’t think we should treat others how we wouldn’t want to be treated.
There are a lot of problems with that, though. People can’t always decide what’s good and bad treatment. For instance, abortion. And then many times they can’t see the situation clearly because humans are both sinners and limited in understanding. We can also lack the moral strength to do right when we want to, or just want something else more. (Cont’d)
The Bible says that “there is a way that seems right to a man but it leads to death,” and that without God leading us, “every man does what’s right in his own eyes,” which always leads to us going off the right path somewhere.
The Golden Rule in Christianity, then, also requires people to depend on God to find out what’s true and good. He gives us the Bible to teach us, and then His guidance through things like prayer and the words of other believers.
And performing the Golden Rule shouldn’t lead to the chief sin of Satan, pride. Doing right has a great many benefits, and God has suffered long with us to make us able to do good. Giving to charity, if out of pride, can lead to people feeling they have a license to sin a little, convinced God needs them, and they’re so good they don’t need His mercy and forgiveness.
It's not a religion.
The only Golden Rule I see being enforced these days is “He who has the gold makes the rules.”
