Puritans.
In the play Macbeth, Malcolm portrays himself as a potential sinful tyrant in order to to test Macbeth. Malcolm wanted to see just how loyal Macbeth would be.
yes they can! The question is not clear. Of course, people may go out with other people. There is nothing to be asked. If the question is using "go out with" as a euphemism for dating, as opposed to merely meeting people outside of the home, then there is some discussion to be had. More stringent Muslims believe that dating is not an acceptable practice. Center-line Muslims may date, but will only do so for the purpose of marriage (as opposed to general enjoyment), more lax Muslims date just like anyone else. So, it depends more on the person.
I believe that Miller's treatment of women was a satire of the puritanism that was dated back to that time. It was believed that women's main role was to reproduce, pray, and to understand that their place in their family monarchy was under the husband. They were looked upon a lustful, sinful, and an unwanted temptation to men. I read a quote the stated, " It is believed that the soul had two parts, the immortal masculine part, and the mortal feminine part."
because puritans believed only in work and prayer. if you weren't working you must be praying or sleeping because almost everything else was a sin. they considered people doing things such as acting or even just watching plays to be sinful and lime should be spent with god.

He was a puritan and they believed the theater was sinful
The Puritans thought all plays were sinful which is why they banned them when they came into power in 1642. They were religious fanatics who felt that if people were going to go somewhere and listen to something, they should go to church and listen to sermons. Certain plays have also attracted the ire of the Catholic church, especially Measure for Measure which portrays the Duke masquerading as a priest and taking confession from people, and then proposes marriage to a nun. They didn't like King John much either, as the Papal legate is not painted in a nice light.
First, God does know about what your are thinking. However, a sinful thought is not usually evil in itself - it is a temptation to evil. (Remember that Jesus himself was tempted). Now if you feel hatred or contempt towards someone without just cause, perhaps because they are of a different race, and you dwell on that and make it part of your attitudes - that is evil, because your attitudes will drive your actions.
Because sin is more than just deeds sin is also thoughts, attitudes. Mat 5:28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Thinking the act is just as sinful as doing it there are no degrees of sin a sinful thought is as bad as a sinful act.
Supposedly, Adam is the more sinful one, because he bit the apple and god said not to do that.
Injustice is sinful because it is doing something wrong to someone else. The Bible says to do unto others as you would have them do unto you, so if you do wrong to someone it, it would be considered sinning.
Because god will punish sinful people
Secularism is not inherently sinful; it is simply the belief in the separation of religion and government. Some individuals may view secularism as sinful if they believe that faith should be integrated into all aspects of society. Ultimately, whether secularism is considered sinful is subjective and dependent on one's religious beliefs.
because Adam and Eve disobeyed God they were cast out of Eden and took on a sinful nature which we inherit like it or not. It is the very nature of man to be sinful.
