Why Secular Morality is Superior

[fr0d0]

This is the most moral time in human history as a result of religions being rejected.

You would have to say that, and so would I. This is what field secular morality. The current view is always right.

Religion is currently seriously on the decline, and what morality we have is heavily influenced by it. We shall see when religious influence has gone what morality looks like then. I can't see what underpins justice currently: Christian based ethics, lasting.

I was talking about junior school swearing today. When I was a kid my friends swore like troupers. It was a difficult duality with family life. Nowadays kids swear just the same, but it's more accepted in society that it's OK. Look at film ratings. Kids films are full of swearing. It's like we're afraid to set standards.

Look at Iran and the middle east in general to see what happens when theistic morality is in charge, it was the same sad tale of overly oppressive punishments here when christianity ruled the roost.

You know this to be true.

I have no doubt that you yourself are a good moral man, but that is despite your religion not because of it.

Theism is used and abused for power. I don't think that's a fair judgement.

I don't think I'm any more moral than the next person. I'm probably a lot less. I know some very good non believers though. My faith gives me reason to aim higher. I have to be inspired by it.

Maybe the dictatorial religions got it right. Forcing morality is the only way.
