You’re trying to place your values upon someone else’s faith. According to the faith in this country that punishment is absolutely acceptable. Whether I agree with it or not is irrelevant. This is a mistake the USA has made over and over. To believe that we have some moral right to force upon another country are values. Just think of all the lives that would’ve been saved all the money not spent had this country not tried to force upon another country are moral beliefs. We have spent trillions and trillions of dollars to force upon others our way of life. Many times when those others do not want our way of life. You have no right why so ever to determine whether this punishment is acceptable or not, that is unless you’re a citizen of that country.

A country can make their own laws and how they enforce it is its right but only up to a point.

Otherwise, we could say the same thing about Nazi Germany. It is acceptable for Nazis to kill Jews, gays, the disabled and we have no right to say otherwise.

After all, Germany is a sovereign nation.

By the way, merely uttering our opinion of this punishment in this forum is not forcing our views on Aceh.

Hmm did I just invoke Godwin’s law?

Maybe we cannot force our way of life and morality upon these people, but we can at least openly and with conviction condemn it.

And what you are saying veers strongly towards the side of moral relativism, to be honest. Which is something I condemn and the Church condemns.

China has the a “one child policy” where forced abortion is pushed onto women---------does that mean we have no right to condemn that or state our opposition to it?

Truth is not relative, I’m sorry. Not the way you put it.

Or as Ben Shapiro likes to say, “Truth does not care about your feelings.” And I don’t even agree with him on everything. :):p:o:thumbsup:

But for them the caning is according to their faith.

Irrelevant and not on topic.

This is about publicly beating someone bloody because they happen to be gay. That’s barbarous. End of story.

Some think that an active homosexual lifestyle is also barbarous, and in many instances not victimless.

I am not in favor of beating as a punishment, but I disagree that homosexual activity is victimless.
