You're not qualified to decide which society's customs are right and which are wrong, you arrogant twit.

But, you know, we all need to live by *your* "traditional family values" here in the USA, right?

I, however don't give a shit. It's a small tribe in a shithole, doing their own thing. Do you really have to be that invasive?

As far as rituals go, this isn't NEARLY as bad as eating human brains which leads to kuru, or female genital mutilation, or ripping human hearts out of people's chest cavities to make the Sun rise. So, I say leave 'em the fuck alone.

a mind far far away
Not knowing how this practice arose, I can't say too much more
You shouldn't have said what you did in the first place, since you have no knowledge of anything.
They are living a primitive, animal-like lifestyle
All peoples arose from such things, including you.
and as Created human beings they can be better than that
Who says they're worse? Who are you to judge their life?
Why should they not be educated and taught the right way to live?
Who says the way you live is right? Most people would say that you have a wrong attitude toward life.
What they're doing is objectively wrong
How so? There's no objective proof that you are right.

You call yourself a conservative but you want to wash away traditional societies around the world and replace them with your own morality?
If your way of life is so natural, why does the West have a negative birthrate?

Didn't they have something like that in the roman empire? The one that kicked all kinds of ass until Xianity came around?

The people in that tribe have had their innate moral sense short-circuited by their history and lifestyle.
Living that crazy tribal lifestyle, it can drive you insane oo wah.
Why should they not be educated and taught the right way to live?
Take the fucking log out of your own eye.

"They are living a primitive, animal-like lifestyle"
Uh, you guys worship a primitive god.
"Why should they not be educated and taught the right way to live?"
You people live in willful ignorance and you ruin your children's lives by homeschooling them and feeding them a barrage of biblical bullshit. I don't think you have room to talk.

Not that I actually have to ask, but on what basis is morality absolutely absolute, as in, what is it that determines which morals are "correct", and what is it that makes YOUR set of "morals" (which really seem like a large number of arbitrary rules that contradicts your book's greatest commandment [which it points out itself]) the correct one for the entire planet?

Yeah people who live in backwards third world countries do some fucked up shit. Doesn't have a damn thing to do with sin or god or any of that stuff, though.

This isn't fundie by itself. She could just as easily be referring to the pedophilia part.

Christianity is objectively wrong, and they ought not do it.

Objectively?
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I am right, not knowing anything about the issue I can't explain why I'm right but I can assure you I'm right.

There has never been an instance of Christian missionaries inflicting themselves on indigenous peoples in which they didn't leave the group far worse off.

If they're acting like animals because their society has been untouched by religion, then that just goes to show that we do indeed have our origins in the wild. Not from your god who made us civilized from dirt and ribs.

This is no fundie comment. Moral relativism is a contested subject with which rational people may disagree. One of my issues with strict moral relativists is that they may come to a moral conclusion based on reason or empiricism but if someone from a different culture disagrees with the conclusion of the logic, based upon faith or tradition, their opinion is of equal validity.(It is not) This may be a fundamentalist speaking but certainly not an exclusively fundamentalist comment. You get a meh.

It's as impossible to erase homosexuality as it is impossible to prove the existence of God.
If some men like anal sex with each other and some women like licking each others pussy, it's not hurting you is it?
Love ya, Pule.
