Morality has to come from within, else civilization would never have risen, nor religion. Not all people have morality bred within them.

Morality MUST come from within, otherwise religion would have little or more likely no effect upon an individual. Religion and education enhance that which is already present.

I would remind you that Adolph Hitler considered himself a truly religious person, Roman Catholic I believe. There are many, many more recent examples of punks who hide behind religion.

Morality is not specifically reserved to those who subscribe to any organized religion, and to believe so is arrogant and goes against the teachings of the Bible, IMO.

This is absolutely WRONG so please don't bother "reminding" me of it. I don't know where people get this silly canard!

I am not RC, but it is a matter of incontrovertible fact that Hitler left the Catholic church as a very young man, never to return in any fashion. He was absolutely athiestic in his personal beliefs. As a matter of fact, the Nazis made a stab at resurrecting the old, German pagan gods though I don't believe they had much success with it. Like all good totalitarians, they regarded the Church as an enemy because its influence on people competed with the influence of the state.

Hitler did not consider himself Catholic, he was immersed in the occult and satanism.
