Because you lack a sense of morality.

Why do you think Jesus Christ said "You must be born again" if morality was the great issue?

Jesus did not. The church did as children are easier to control than adults.
Grow up.

We brought, with us, from previous lives certain characteristics to which are put to the test of current conditions.In the next life it is entirely possible that one may be a female/male. In esoteric lore "the karma of male is female and the karma of female is male". Reincarnation has not existed forever and will not exist forever but it changes and morphs adroitly into the overcoming of death, that work of the individual man through the Christ Impulse acting within the hearts of all men(no pun intended here).
We incarnated in race,gender,religion,nation, clan,etc... and in this are able to bring forth the best characteristics of that particular milieu but there is also a contradiction that this very consideration can act as hindrance to our restoration. You can't deny your family for who else nurtured you and comforted you as a child even into adulthood and beyond. In this the "individual" does his work not only of the external world but "within" which are his thoughts, feelings and will impulses, the realm of the soul (thinking,feeling, and willing).
Also, to speak of the "Fall" as if you and I as material beings with four extremities,a brain, teeth, etc.... as we see now doesn't speak to the evolutionary progress of human kind and the cosmos itself but that's another story.

I thought this ost was quite good until the start of the 3rd paragraph.
The answer to the question is: the question is a non-question. Morals are subjective. I would also like to add that i agre with the first two paragraphs in the above quote.

Re: Who are more moral? Men or women?
Morals may be sujective but few will disagree on any given moral scenario.
We all think about the same way.

Re: Who are more moral? Men or women?
Women's Christian Temperance Union members were active in advancing women's suffrage:
Quote:
"The WCTU was instrumental in organizing woman's suffrage leaders and in helping more women become involved in American politics. Local chapters, known as “unions”, were largely autonomous, though linked to state and national headquarters."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woman%2...mperance_Union
Bayard Rustin, active in multiple civil rights movements, was a Quaker:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayard_Rustin
On anti-slavery movements:
"Abolitionism is a movement to end slavery.
In western Europe and the Americas abolitionism was a movement to end the slave trade and set slaves free. At the behest of Dominican priest Bartolomé de las Casas who was shocked at the treatment of natives in the New World, Spain enacted the first European law abolishing colonial slavery in 1542, but was forced to weaken these laws by 1545. In the 17th century Quakers and evangelical religious groups condemned slavery as un-Christian; in the 18th century, rationalist thinkers of the Enlightenment criticized it for violating the rights of man."

Do you think sorting out the carnal ideas from the spiritual ones is easy?
What if God had mercy on mankind and inspired all those Quaker and other religious activists to promote the rights of man for their benefit?
You think people should get all the credit?
Don't you know there won't be any world peace until Jesus Christ returns again?

Re: Who are more moral? Men or women?
Btw, Gandhi claimed inspiration from Jesus Christ.
Watch the movie Gandhi (the one that stars Ben Kingsley) where he claims he drew his ideas from Jesus Christ's "turn the other cheek" philosophy. He applied it quite literally it seems.
Isn't that the Spirit inspiring someone to action?
It seems inspiration can lead to literal actions.
Of course, a lot depends on how you interpret things and how you interpret God's nature upon which the scriptures are established.

Re: Who are more moral? Men or women?
Christians souls are spiritually joined (married) to Jesus Christ.

A little Christian humor.

True.
Quite the nature is gleaned from scriptures. Yuk.
“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”
― Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion

How do you measure and what length do you like.
Does your husband know that you day dream of other men as you, you know?
Oh my God. My wife says oh Jesus in bed too but I thought she was just showing her appreciation.
