The Baha'i Studies Listserv I remember talking about these concepts earlier. Post conventional morality is based on a social contract and universal ethical principles without regards to specific terms on which they need to be based upon. Conventional morality is based on authority and conformity which requires a specific norm and everyone to conform to it. Pre conventional morality is based on rewards and punishments.
Don C seem to think the Baha'i Faith is the prime example of a post conventional religion. You can look at them and see which new religious movements are even better examples of a post conventional religion. This is especially with regards to sexual morality and ethics as a subtropical as well. Bahai's tend to have a lot of conventional morality. Just look at the Aqdas and try and see wether or not that qualifies as a convention. To summarize, why is anything more than the platinum rule, golden rule, silver rule, and non aggression principle which are all the same thing enough? Especially when you apply these to sexuality (which was the last topic that spilled over in those topic)? Among major religious groups or world religions: Baha'i Faith, Cao Dai, Cheodogyo, Tenrikyo, Wicca, Sekai Kysuei Kyo, Seicho No Ie, Rastafarianism, Unitarian Universalism, Scientology, Eckankar, LaVeyanism, Raëlism, Neo-Druidism, etc. are all new religious movements. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_new_religious_movements http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_religious_movement http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UFO_religions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFO_religion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Kohlberg%27s_stages_of_moral_development http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethics_in_religion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morality_and_religion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-aggression_principle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_religious_groups Sent from my iPad __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:arch...@mail-archive.com Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:leave-697857-27401.54f46e81b66496c9909bcdc2f7987...@list.jccc.edu Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to ly...@list.jccc.edu Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
