@Mailman I think we can agree to disagree. Not all people have the same cultures and the same core beliefs, and just because some people have one belief (I'm using this as a general term, not a strictly religious term), that does not mean they're right and everyone else is wrong. Beliefs are fluid in any case.
I'll just use an example which springs to mind:
In the TV series, Aviendha was beaten in her face and other body parts with fists by her 2 fellow Maidens.
Some people thought this was much more acceptable than the spanking she would have received in the books.
I, on the other hand, was appalled by both the attack with fists in the face, and by other people thinking that was better than a spanking. I'm absolutely horrified by both those things. But, I accept that for some reason some societies now believe that way so I'm not going to go verbally attack them over it.
