Although, Hazen, the definition of “socially harmful behavior” is somewhat subjective and how one refrains from it could be either passive or active as we’ve seen with anti-abortion types “refraining from killing babies” whereas others don’t agree an embryo is a baby. Or how a woman without a burka could be considered haram in Afghanistan. I think the stored up cultural material can also amount to a sort of propaganda that is used to leverage the religious dogma.
