Always play on level ground with peers. Each situation can be a win-win one when we respect other people. Philippians 2:3: "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves."
9. People who believe differently are viewed as having moral inferiority's rather than merely differences in behavior.
People of different persuasions whether religious or behavioral are not morally inferior. Unfortunately even Jesus wanted to kill any non-believers. Luke 19:27: "But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them -- bring them here and kill them in front of me."
10. One has the right to be free from discomfort and to glide through life with only minimum frustration.
Suffering is a part of life; however, there is always relief from suffering via spiritual pursuits. Job 36:15: "But those who suffer he delivers in their suffering; he speaks to them in their affliction."

1. Over interpretation of superficial signs of non-conformity
Weiner, J. "This is So on: M.I.A. Vs. Lady Gaga." Vanity Fair. April 7, 2010. Retrieved April 8, 2010 from http://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2010/04/this-is-so-on-mia-vs.-lady-gaga.html

Cyberbullying may be blown out of proportion: http://news.cnet.com/8301-19518_3-20001982-238.html
4. Over-emphasis on the biological determination of heterosexual behavior
California still has a law on the books that "requires health experts to find a cure for homosexuality." It is impossible to "cure" homosexuality, and homosexuality is not a disease. Lowenthal, B. (2010). 'Cure' gays? No, fix the law. Los Angeles Times. April 4, 2010. Retrieved April 8, 2010 from http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-lowenthal4-2010apr04,0,6434253.story
5. Self-fulfilling prophecy

6. Lack of interest in ecclesiastical form, ritual, and participation
One of the reasons for the lack of interest in ecclesiastical form, ritual, and participation is the hypocrisy and corruption inherent in organized religion. Gunter, L. (2010). A stain of sin. National Post. Retrieved April 8, 2010 from http://www.nationalpost.com/opinion/columnists/story.html?id=199ebda3-0447-42af-a1d1-44300a83a13b

" The differences in these two lines seem to be only a matter of syntax but in actuality, it also differs in the meaning. The King James Bible version makes it seem like the Lord is making the individual do something, as if by force or obligation, while the Puritan version states that the Lord causes the individual to do something, as if out of their own will. This alone
" When and if the U.S. cuts back on the use of fossil fuels to reduce global warming, other nations may well follow our example. To wit, when we allow the United Nations to conduct searches for potential weapons of mass destruction in our own country, or in countries we have disputes with, other nations may follow and allow inspectors into their country as well. It is idealistic to believe that
If it was a dream, then the programmers clearly attempted to incorporate background realism. For example, the characters get dirty; like sweat, dirt is not something that the programmers would need to create to have realistic humans, but there is dirt on people. If one accepts the premise that the entire story is a dream, it is not difficult to take an additional step and assume that the programmers
and, through the scientific study of modern, cognitive science, the idea that 'I' am doing the thinking in a way that is separate from my body and that this can be rationally deducted, simply by thinking and without scientific experimentation would be confounded.

reason, God and religion with reference to ancient philosophers. These philosophers gave us some interesting views on the subject of God, which may prove helpful in understanding the nature of good in a world where evil often dominates.
