The unquestionable morality of your religious beliefs

Many here express the position that the moral codes and actions prescribed by their respective religious texts are absolutely correct on every single point. Do you hold this position with regards to your religious texts and doctrines. Is there any flexibility on your view of either?

There are two aspects to faith, one is the eternal spiritual truths and one is the changing laws.

Which ones are you wishing to discuss, or both?

I'm not big on prescriptions. Buddhism is not a revealed religion. The offering is that A will cause B and B will be an unskilful outcome. Your choice, pal.

what's nosy-posey?

My attitude is that detailed codes and actions are like "training wheels". When maturity dawns, the only rule is the rule of love. As an example, if a poor person out of love steals a bottle of milk to feed someone else's starving child, that is higher morality at work in spite of the prohibition against theft.

Nosy-posey = "I want to play, too!"

My religious texts are highly variegated and were updated time and again. So I see no need to see in them an objective moral or ethical code, as their authors themselves didn't.

Actions are the outward display of beliefs.

My religious texts speak little of moral codes or actions. The intent of my religious texts is to help one understand the nature of one's being, so none of the answers in the poll apply.

In my religion, there is room for everything, good and evil. The evil makes the rituals.
