what's good and bad in your book.

"...I’ve posted something about it in comment #161"

What I got from there is you accept the golden rule that's pushed by virtually all religions and is hard wired into us because because of an evolutionary need for the propagation of our race. 

"...different cultures are able to come with more or less the same morality, it reveals only one thing: that the concepts are all man-made."

Wait a second.  If different people make their own observations and arrive at the same description independently, then we conclude that neither is making it up and that they're all seeing something that actually exists outside their imaginations.  That means if the golden rule came about as an evolutionary necessity, then it's the rule that made the race, not the other way around.

 fwiw, I like humanity as much as the next guy, but off hand I can think of some other ideals that you and I would hold in even higher esteem.
