How Should We Treat Others?
50 Answers
Perhaps the best-known statement in that sermon is the one that is often called the Golden Rule. It has to do with how we treat others. “Just as you want men to do to you, do the same way to them,” said Jesus. (Luke 6:31)

"Yes" some will say "I don’t trouble my neighbors. As far as I am concerned, they can do what they want. But, of course, if they were in difficulty, I’d do what I could to help.” Is that your view? When disasters strike, acts of kindness and unselfishness may abound, often to the surprise of many. But is this enough?
If you are a parent, you have no doubt admonished your children to avoid provoking their playmates. Many of us bear scars from our youth to show that ignoring that guideline brings retaliation. Yes, we have learned the wisdom of the maxim crystallized by the Oriental philosopher Confucius: “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.” Do you realize, though, that this is merely an inferior, negative version of what is known as the Golden Rule?

Western Society has evolved in a mostly christian environment and only in the last 150 years have more people seen the ridicule of imaginary deities.
The respect for others has been seen as an essential moral live by in close proximity of others so has been promoted by most parents. The gruesome practices inflicted on atheists by most religious leaders a couple of centuries ago shows that Luke 6:13 is obviously not followed by those who should have.
As you well know, the meaning of everything found in the bible can be altered to mean other things. Perhaps, for your next assignment, you could find a passage that relates to the many folks who are born with a disability. I'm sure there will be something in the bible that can be turned into a proclamation of reasoning for this unfortunate side of Humans.

Yes, disability or chronic health problem can make you feel your freedom restricted.
Yes,you may feel lonely. You might even start to wonder if you’ve done something to offend God, or if God has brought some special test of integrity upon you.
No, the Bible says: “With evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone.” (James 1:13) Sickness is merely part of the present human condition,.
Happily, though God has promised a new world in which “no resident will say: ‘I am sick.’” (Isaiah 33:24) Even those who have died will be resurrected, so that they will have opportunity to enjoy that new world. (John 5:28, 29)
In the meantime, though, look to how can you make the best of your situation?

Meanwhile the Bible also makes it clear that it is fine to treat women as lesser beings, hence the reference to "men".
Archaic books are not a source of wisdom. Religion has long been a primary factor in delaying the progress of morality.

Beso@ You have absolutely no idea. The Bible does not degrade women and to the contrary, admonishes men to give them honour and respect. Look at Sarah for example. Abraham was told by God to listen to her. Queen Esther told her husband of the plot to kill her people and he acted on it. Jesus always showed respect for women, he spoke to the samaritan woman at the well when the Jews would not speak to samaritans. And a husband is told to treat his wife like he would treat his own body. I suggest you read and study the bible a little more before you make judgement! (Ephesians 5:28)
Goodlife, //Beso@ You have absolutely no idea. The Bible does not degrade women//
How do you explain this, Goodlife?
//let the women keep silent in the congregations, for it is not permitted for them to speak. Rather, let them be in subjection, as the Law also says. If they want to learn something, let them ask their husbands at home, for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the congregation.,//
It's from the Jehovah's Witness version of the bible - 1 Corinthians 14:34/35
//I suggest you read and study the bible a little more before you make judgement!//
Perhaps you should consider taking your own advice.
