Topic: Ethics in religion


  
 Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Ethics in religion
Ethics in systematic form, and apart from religious belief, is as little found in apocryphal or Judæo-Hellenistic literature as in the Bible.
From the point of view of theistic religions, to the extent that ethics stems from revealed truth from divine sources, ethics is studied as a branch of theology.
Western philosophical works on ethics were written in a culture whose literary and religious ideas were based in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) and the New Testament.

 Religion and Ethics
The most important contribution of religions to the search for a universal ethic, he argues, is in terms of both the emphasis within religious traditions on the need to overcome ego‑centeredness and the affirmation that these highest values are not only arrived at by human reflection but are truly grounded in reality itself.
The wider questions of religion and ethics having been delineated, the next section of the volume focuses on specific religious traditions in both the West and the East.

 Humanist: Missing the Forest for the Trees - ethics versus religion
Religion is ultimately based on some metaphysical view of "the ultimate," and the rules and doctrines of a religion are the means of responding to that ultimate.
While there is, and should be, an overlap between the two, ethics and religion are certainly not one and the same.
Although there is no inherent conflict between them, and, in fact, they should complement one another, what has happened is that micro-level ethics has completely crowded out the other.

 Uninformed Opinion: Religion and Ethics
I thoroughly enjoyed your post "Religion and Ethics." I have the same complaint where Christians are free to pick and choose parts of the Bible that they wish to follow where Muslims are somehow not allowed to do the same.
As an atheist, I consider religion to be a human invention and hence am not surprised that the religious show the same range of evil and hypocritical behaviour as everyone else.
Commentariat - when you are hoping that the followers of a religion DON'T follow the example of the religion's prophet (and when folks can get in big big trouble for blaspheming his name, as he is the very model of human perfection), it's probably safe to say that the religion itself may be the problem.

 Professional Ethics without Religion
This second problem is not as severe as it may seem at first because all religions have remarkable agreement on the basic principles of ethics.
Both religious ethics and Christian ethics are normative systems that defines "oughtness" in terms of God's laws.
In spite of these common elements in the ethics of all the major religions, they (with the exception of Christianity) are built on a legal system which can easily degenerate into casuistry.
