Before discussing this, define “morality.” Is it what the law says? what colleges say? what the ordinary folk think? what atheists like bammy say?
No definition, no discussion.
And such a discussion will lead you to the fact that apart from a transcendent God there can be no objective morality. There can only be legal, illegal and personal preference. These are all subjective and can change from day to day.
Agreed. First, define morality.
I remember a time when most of America defined morality as a system of standards defined by a religion, and ethics as a system of standards defined by society.
Sad that once common definitions are now challenged.
...define “morality.”
Virtuous Thinking
Virtuous Living
Morals are rules for living that in the long run will lead to a happier life.
Humans are pretty good at figuring out what makes them happy in the short run. It is much more difficult to figure out how to behave now so that 10, 20, 50 years from now you’ll be happy. Cultures and religions address these quest>ons.
A system of morality is a set of these rules for living.
Each religion and culture has its own set of values, often there is a big overlap among them. What we’re seeing today is a rebellion against many of these traditional values because they infringe, or discourage people’s desires for new lifestyles. These fools will soon pay for ignoring and destroying these time proven values.
