Morals do not exist. "Right" and "wrong" are meaningless. We are a product of our experiences.

Everyone experiences and understands the world in a different way.

I connect with people to attempt a logical and consistent shared understanding.  I interact to have shared experiences.

I see your hopes and fears. I see my own.

When we die we go into the arms of those who remember us.

@djanevski No, I didn't sit through the entire unnecessarily long-winded list of leading and redundant questions. I decided to cut through all the crap and answer the only relevant question instead.

@djanevski

Morality comes from human evolution. We forbid slavery in most countries. The Bible permits it.

We have better morality than fictional God.

Therefore the questions become irrelevant.

@BigTylor69 Im sorry..what are the laws and bounds of nature ?? Apparently nothing if we can evolve to whatever suits us ??

@angelajaynemartin Instead of asking questions, why not try answering the ones on the video first.

[djanevski]

@MrRazorz My guess is you didn't really watch the video.

My moral standard comes from empathy and respect for others. It's not objective, I don't always know that I'm doing the right thing, and I often have to re-examine it according to circumstance, but in general I do the best I can to make sure I'm helping people rather than hurting them. This is what makes me human.

Not exactly rocket science, is it?

Here's a question for you:

Does your religion, Christianity, explicitly forbid slavery with a god given commandment against it? Hint: No it doesn't.

If you're against slavery, then why are you a Christian?

[BigTylor69]

1. Yes, natural law. Humans are not immune to the laws and bounds of nature. We judge what is right or wrong based upon science and natural law. Society is not where we get our standard of morality, because society has composed laws and guidelines based upon man-made experience and individual thought. nature does not contradict one person from another, because nature is not different for one person over another. We do not push our beliefs upon others, we simply hope to educate.
