--- Quote from: Inv3rted on October 07, 2009, 03:44:32 PM ---Morals are bullstuff from religion. Ethics is the proper way to behave in society. --- End quote --- Nice try. Ethics is the study of morality, not morality itself. Morals are what you guide your decisions by, and ethics is the study of them. |

What I mean is that the morals we are told to follow in our culture stem from religion, and therefore should be ignored. We should have a new code of conduct totally separate from religion, which will be the ethics of an ideal society. |

What's wrong with having morals that are based in a religion? Even if one isn't of one of the Abrahamic religions, one can still subscribe to the Ten Commandments and follow them. Just because some morals are based around a religious faith doesn't mean that all morals are, and it certainly doesn't mean that the ones that are based in religion are bad. |

I'd hate to be your kids. "My daddy says I don't have to follow the 10 commandments so Imma gonna kill me some people, treat my parents like crap, cheat on my wife, steal me some things, lie my ass off about it when I'm caught, and I'll live in a constant state of jealousy of what every one else has. But it's okay because daddy says that religious morals suck." *waits for impending lethal injection* |
