To me the question about the origins of morality is one we must all confront.
What makes up morality?
To theists it all comes down to their sky daddy.What if your sky Daddy doesn't exist, would that mean you'll find it appropriate to murder or hurt?I side with Richard Dawkins opinion on the subject. I think our morality ,that is the sense of being good, has a Darwinian origin.
Our morals come from Empathy.
We are the only species with an advanced conscious.We don't live on instinct anymore. This gives us the ability to empathy.
We can imagine things in the perspective of another person.
And that is where our morality should be built ,not on some bronze age book.
Natural selection was the best thing that's happened to us. It brought about consciousness.
How grateful...
