Why "mysterious ways" don't matter.

[Dystopia]

From this collection, you then extract the overall moral rules... how? Some groups would go for a democratic method, others go for the opinion of a few enlightened people.... others go for the opinions of one man.
Which is best? beats me.
Declaration of human rights is a good basic source for the Human Race's objective morality.

And how did humanity reach such a declaration?
Did it pop into the mind of some enlightened person, one day?
Was there a vote on the matter?
how?

After all the atrocities, wars and injustices committed, not only in WWII but also before it, since the prehistoric period, Man can reach an agreement on our fundamental values. We are talking about a minimum everybody is inclined to defend. Only a small (and I mean REALLY small) minority of people will say torture, murder and slavery are morally correct. And I believe if we take away religion and public opinions influenced by religious thoughts, a bigger number of people would defend human rights and equality.

They didn't show up by magic, after historical and cultural occurrences some values were shown to be more important to support and preserve. Our values have an explanation, they are always a product of sociological, historical, religious (some), political, cultural and other kind of events who have shaped mankind's world view regarding morality.

I hope I helped explaining it
