@TheGeneralCritic "and the world judged that their moral code was detrimental and harmful."
Absolutely! One could argue, that as social creatures, this ability to define morality as history progresses is an evolutionary process, and those that violate the mores, lose the battle of natural selection (i.e., the war).....

@goodbyebrov The Nazis lived in the wider community of the world, and the world judged that their moral code was detrimental and harmful. So yes, within the vacuum of Nazi society, their own rules are technically moral, but within the larger context of the world stage, they were not moral.

@ruleofthespirit We decided that we need morals just like a lot of other animals. Earlier on in the development of our species it would have been counter productive to go around killing each other. Morals change with time. The bible talks about slavery as mentioned in this video. That was acceptable then but is frowned apon now. The universe didn't 'come from nothing'. But incidentally, where did god come from?

so wait, in the nazi society they are right? if morality depends on the society then the nazi's are no more right then american society right? But obviously we know consciously there are right morals because mlk jr went against his culture and we respect him for that. he knew with his conscious that racism is wrong. so clearly we cant abide by what society says, there has to be a standard we go by.

@ruleofthespirit Depends on how you define personhood, on what grounds...
@ruleofthespirit How is "evolved" mean "came from nothing"? Evolution speaks of nothing about origin, it is a process.

Empathy is the root of morality. Understanding the pain of another, knowing what that pain feels like, and wishing not to bring such suffering to others is where morals and ethics takes shape.
