Westerner,

I read your post and I have a few questions if you don’t mind.

1. Is Morality a social construct?

2. Is Morality Objective or Subjective?

3. Do you believe we have Free Will?

4. Do you believe evil exists?

5. Do you consider yourself a Logical thinker/person?

6. Where does Logic come from?

7. Could Morality, the illusion of free will and/or our ability to reach logical conclusions evolved in a different way?

Then again, there may be more than one answer to these questions, pointing me in a crooked line.

And the less I seek my source for some definitive,

I'll try to answer your questions:
1. It's a concept created by the mind of man, as are all words., i.e., epistemology, the branch of philosophy that studies how the mind works.
2. Objective.
3. Yes.
4. Yes.
5. Yes, at least I try, but given I have free will and am not infallible, I can and do make reasoning errors.
6. Obviously, yes. A morality based on the Axiom God exists or that he does not will lead to completely different ideas in Metaphysics, Epis., Morality, Politics, and Art.
There! I can still think and even with only 1 cup of coffee this morning:-)
