You apparently never heard of Buddha.

I read a certain Herman Hesse book once, maybe twice.

Do I know about Buddha now?

Immorality? What is that?

How can there be immorality in a jungle where only the "fittest" can or will survive?

Are lions immoral for being predators of gazelles?

What is this a PETA thread or something?

I expect that RobRoy has heard of Buddha. You may have even shared my belief, when you wrote your words. I could say with equal merit: “You apparently never heard of being polite.”

I’ve heard of Buddha, of course. But if you are an expert, please tell us more. If you believe you can articulate a persuasive basis for morality absent God, that would be a positive contribution. I would be interested in what you have to say.

Buddhism is not a religion. It is a philosophy. Again, if we are accidental, Buddah is irrelivant.
