So given is it so formidable to find domestic leaders or corporate bosses who have ethics? Why does a word 'ethics' not even appear in a wording of these people? And given can't we have 28 million Malaysians, or during slightest a sixteen million Malaysians of voting age, assimilate what their Godly duties are? If God has automatic them to know right from wrong, if they all hold in God as good as follow a single sacrament or another, given can't we have them do a right thing?

Technology without God is dangerous: Pope
Pope Benedict says man was too mostly in awe of technology instead of being in awe of God.
VATICAN CITY: Pope Benedict, heading a world's Catholics in to Easter, pronounced upon Saturday technological progress, in a absence of recognition of God as good as dignified values, acted a hazard to a world.
Benedict presided during a honest Easter vigil Mass in St Peter's Basilica to usher a 1.2 billion-member Church in to a most important day of a liturgical calendar.
The basilica, a largest church in Christendom, was in a dim for a start of a have use of to signify a dark in Jesus' burial ground prior to what Christians hold was his resurrection from a passed three days after his crucifixion.
The a little 10,000 true in a basilica lit candles as a pope moved up a executive aisle upon a wheeled platform he uses to conserve his strength as good as afterwards a basilica's lights were turned upon when he reached a main altar.
Wearing bullion as good as white vestments during a Mass, his final Holy Week have use of p! rior to Easter Sunday, Benedict wove his oration around a theme of dark as good as light.
"The dark which poses a genuine hazard to mankind, after all, is a actuality which he can see as good as investigate discernible element things, though cannot see where a universe is starting or origin it comes, where a own hold up is going, what is great as good as what is evil," he said.
"The dark enshrouding God as good as obscuring values is a genuine hazard to a hold up as good as to a universe in general," he said.
Benedict, repeating a single of a executive themes of his pontificate, pronounced man was too mostly in awe of technology instead of being in awe of God.
"If God as good as dignified values, a disproportion in in in in between great as good as evil, sojourn in darkness, afterwards all alternative 'lights', which put such implausible technical feats inside of a reach, have been not usually swell though additionally dangers which put us as good as a universe during risk," he said.
"With regard to element things, a knowledge as good as a technical accomplishments have been legion, though what reaches beyond, a things of God as good as a subject of good, we can no longer identify," he said.
The Pope, who returned from a tiresome trip to Mexico as good as Cuba final week, looked fatigued during a long service, during which be baptised 8 adults from Italy, a United States, Slovakia, Turkmenistan, Albania, Germany as good as Cameroon. He turns 85 upon April 16.

************************************
After celebration of a mass a above, we might right away wish to go to theStanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophyand readMoral Arguments for a ! Existenc e of Godhere (http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/moral-arguments-god/).
Students of divinity or truth would assimilate a theme of a various arguments to support a idea in a hold up of God. we shall not bore we with a complete spectrum of arguments or else my essay will need to run in to during slightest 20 or thirty pages. And even which can be considered short given books upon this theme run in to 300 pages or so. Being Easter as good as all that, as good as in reply to what a Pope pronounced in theReutersreport above, we would therefore similar to to talk about usually a single of a arguments:the dignified arguments for a hold up of God.
To simplify a complete evidence for a great of a averageMalaysia Todayreader: given humankind knows a disproportion in in in in between right as good as wrong, afterwards this proves which God exists. If God did not exist afterwards we would not know right from wrong. In alternative words, humankind has been automatic to distinguish in in in in between right as good as wrong -- hence, given we have been programmed, afterwards something contingency have automatic us, as good as which 'something' would have to be God. Thus this proves which there is a God.
As we said, this is a single of various arguments which have been used to urge a idea in a hold up of God. In answer to which subject in a Philosophy of Religion march which we took final year -- as to whether we agreed or disagreed with which evidence -- we replied which we did not agree.
My reason for disagreeing is which your dignified compass cannot be guided by religion, as good as hence it cannot be God which automatic we to know right from wrong. The definition of right as good as wrong is biased as good as changes depending upon time as good as place. What is right could be wrong, as good as clamp verse, depending upon when as good as where! we happ ened to have been born.
For example, it was right to whack a heads of non-believer babies after we baptise them during a time of a Spanish Inquisition in Latin America 500 years ago. Even a Pope endorsed this as a approach to save a souls of these babies as good as send them straight to heaven. So we save a souls of a non-believer babies by baptising them as good as bashing their heads opposite a rock.
"How sanctified will be a a single who seizes as good as dashes your little ones opposite a rock." (Psalms 137:9)
Now, God 'said' this was right, according to a Vatican andPsalms 137:9. Common sense, however, tells us which it is wrong. However, sacrament wins over usual sense. But which was 500 years ago in Latin America, a opposite time as good as place. Today, contend in Malaysia, we would positively contend it is wrong. Hence time as good as place have a temperament upon what is right as good as what is wrong. Whether we take what a Holy Books contend literally or allegorically additionally has a bearing.
Say we do this currently -- we whack a heads of non-Christian babies to kill them as good as send them straight to heaven -- what do we consider will happen to you? The answer is viewable -- we will get arrested for attempted murder as good as in a little countries we would be sentenced to death.
But how can it be attempted murder when 500 years ago it was a right thing to do? Have they rewritten a Bible given then? No, a Bible is still a same, as is a Quran as good as all a alternative Holy Books. Nothing has changed. What has altered is a approach we right away appreciate a teachings of sacrament as good as a tolerance level as good as value complement have altered compared to, say, 500 years ago.
The subject we right away need to ask is: what is a dignified compass? Do we need God or sacrament to beam us as to what is right as good as what is wrong or can usual clarity be which guide? For those who can th! ink, usu al clarity is sufficient. For those who cannot think, they need sacrament to beam them. Without a help of sacrament they have been unqualified of distinguishing right from wrong.
Hence, a bottom line would be, humankind is bad by nature. Thus they need sacrament so which bad people can become good. Without religion, bad people will be naturally bad.
we can buy which argument. But what if people have been great by inlet as good as they have been great not given they have a sacrament or given they hold in God though given they have use of usual clarity as their guide? They only know a disproportion in in in in between great as good as bad without a great of religion.
Would this not be what great Atheists are: great not given they hold in God though great given their usual clarity tells them what is right as good as what is wrong? we would suppose your answer would be which nonetheless they do not hold in God, God has automatic them to know right from wrong. Hence they have been great nonetheless they do not hold in God.
Very complicating, is it not?
Actually, it is not unequivocally as complicating as we might think. Using 'do unto others as we would others do unto you' would be a great sufficient beam nonetheless which quote is from religion. If we hatred suffering afterwards do not theme others to pain. If we hatred being attacked afterwards do not rob others. If we don't similar to your mother, mother or daughter being raped afterwards do not rape alternative women/girls. And so on.
Do we need sacrament to have we assimilate that?
What perplexes me is a actuality which a some-more eremite a chairman is a some-more immorality he or she becomes. So how can God have anything to do with this? If they have been automatic to know right from wrong as good as if they have additional help to beam them -- meaning a sacrament -- afterwards positively these people would live a hold up of a saint. But which does not happen.
