I'm not sure how you believe in the above verses, as I do, and don't believe that all humans are, as those created in the image of God, worth ultimate love and protection, regardless of gender, race, or origin.

Pro tip: the lift restriction they give you after a cholecystectomy doesn't *explicitly* forbid you from showing your 7yo how far you can leap, but maybe an intelligent person could have figured that out without finding out the hard way?

Putting "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" on the lineup of "MeTV Toons" is an act of violence against geriatric millennials such as myself.

What always bothers me about discussions of "ethics" in software is that the punchline is always "and this cost their employer a lot of money."
I don't think employer expense is the primary ethical problem that software engineers should think about.

"Why do we have to take ethics classes for a computer science degree?"
This is why. And frankly, we should be failing more students for inadequately demonstrating their understanding of the topic.
Let's review some fun historical examples of why "No, actually quality will continue to matter."

God so loved the world that he sent his only Son, not to live as a worldly king, but as a migrant, a servant leader, a teacher, and ultimately a martyr.
Too many conflate worldly wealth and power with godliness. I appreciate anyone who seeks to be truly Christlike, whether you're Christian or not.

I think it's sweet that the oldest surviving printed book in the world - the Diamond Sutra - is also the oldest creative work explicitly released into the public domain, with a colophon at the end that says it was created for universal free distribution.

Christianity absolutely requires you to welcome immigrants.
No exceptions.
No “if they follow the law.”
No “if they contribute economically.”
No exceptions. Welcome them. Treat them as a citizen. Love them.
