        India/Hindus are on the right track.willing to adapt to changes according to time. Unlike followers of certain abrahamic religions who insist they must follow two thousand year old law, culture and practice. Ridiculous.

        Adultery is a choice.Marriage is two people sorting out their differences.Don’t drag the law unless your harassed,abused or violated.Act like adults and deal with http://it.You  chose your marriage partner.However I support that it is ethically & morally looked down upon

        Adultery remains a sin in the Bible, doesn’t need man’s ratification.

        Do you agree with the theories of evolution by Charles Darwin or the Big Bang theory? Prove it that Caucasians and Blacks are the product of an evolvement from separate species of black and white monkeys. Talking about knowledge.

        You don’t have to believe in god to have good morals and family values. I don’t need a bible to tell me what’s good or bad, common sense tells me that.

        I never said you needed the bible to know what it's right from wrong. All i am saying is that you can't justify objective morality.

        If it's just an opinion why did you write "it will always be a moral crime"? A crime for you? For who? If it's just your opinion. Who are you to say that what they did means they have no moral compass? If it's simply your opinion. If morality is subjective, who are you to judge.

        Exactly, morality is always subjective to certain level, yet we as a society are usually able to agree (fortunately:-)) on some values/aspects of it, which is then codified into laws.

        Not really, if most agree in certain values, it means that there is a moral law in which to differentiate good from evil.

        Indian have been going carefree in parks for ages, most of the time they’re young couples scared of judgment because they can’t go ‘carefree’ in the comfort of their homes, hostels, hotels or private areas without being severely judged or even attacked (tell me if I’m wrong)+

        + just maybe sexual liberation among Indian youth could mean they can go to their homes or hotels without fear and do their hanky panky without having to seek shelter in parks and public spaces. It’s just a thought, maybe I’m right, maybe I’m wrong...
