thats not a correct practice. as you just describe a few lines below, there are things that you cannot compromise.
Quote:But I'm kind of troubled by where to draw the line, or do I draw one at all.
if you draw any lines, it means you dont compromise at everything.
Quote:If I see someone raping someone do I accept that? What does that mean? Would attempting to prevent it still fall under accepting it?
with the information you have at hand (you dont know why rape is happening, whether due to important preincarnate arrangements or etc), and the awareness you have (you are not a rock still vibrating in stillness or a cow that still chews hay), you would need to stop it.
Quote:What if I don't like the STS beliefs of a religion which creates an STO image for itself, why are people's religious beliefs so delicate and out of bounds? If someone of the Aztec religion sacrificed a human being would they not go to jail? Would they accuse the judicial system of discriminating against their religious beliefs? They probably would go to jail. So why is it okay for some religions to systematically oppress certain groups of people, or all members of that faith ("I am not worthy"), but if someone challenges them on it THEY become the jerk in most peoples eyes?
its a control mechanic, which is employed by orange heavy negative consciousness that a goodly amount of the population or society is in. at least, the negative segments of it.
theirs is right, yours is wrong, its as simple as that.

thats the definition of a group. you eventually develop various habits and behavior patterns indigenous to your own group, as a group.
