Have any of you seen the movie Frailty? This movie tries to show the Old Testament's version of God. This film brings the idea that sometimes we cannot judge what is right from what is wrong because sometimes we are blind to the truth. There are simple things we now are morally incorrect such as stealing a candy from the store because of a dare or something. We now that doing that would be wrong. However, there are some situations that are difficult to claim as being ethical. Situations which we now are right but go against a principle such as not murdering, not stealing, etc.Who are we to judge anything? Is not God the one we should trust would know whether something is wrong or right? He gave us commandments to follow and if we let Him, He will steer us the right direction. It is He that defines what is good and right. We do not know everything like He does and we have to learn to trust in Him. Frailty does a good job at presenting this idea.

Your blog brought some really great points! Based on what is determined good or bad, I think we can be blind in distinguishing between the two. We begin to categorize what is bad or good, but I think, sometimes there are situations in which we really do not know what they are.
People begin to judge what is wrong and right, but, then again, since this is all based on perception, we cannot always agree on the situation. The movie sounds really interesting! Ill have to rent it sometime(when i have time haha).
