Question

With all of the cultural and religious challenges which face us today, is there still any way to think and act ethically?

Answer 1

Islam is always encourage us to act ethically. believe me

Answer 2

Acting or thinking ethically has nothing to do with culture or religion. One can always act ethically regardless of the cultural or religious climate. Just relying on one's own inner sense of what is ethical (and I think the average person knows when he or she is acting ethically, and when he or she is just using his or her religious beliefs as a crutch or excuse to behave badly) is enough.

Answer 3

Religion is ehtics. It is NOT being religious that is a threat. By that, I do not mean being a non-believer. I mean those who claim to believe in any religion and show no morals, manners or ethics in behaviour.

Tolerance also is a very important issue which takes us back to religion and ethics.



My religion, Islam, teaches me to respect people and not be biased. This can sound weird because you see so many things falsely happening in the name of Islam, but it is because of not being good practicioners of the religion.
