Evolution of morality
February 18, 2011 at 5:52 pm (This post was last modified: March 6, 2011 at 3:23 pm by OnlyNatural.)
I firmly believe that human morality has evolved along with the rest of us (EDIT: our conceptions of right and wrong, of course; I elaborate more on my views a few posts down. I just noticed that a few people have jumped to disagree with me on this one sentence, so this is just a heads up Tongue). Religion/God is not necessary (and in fact often gets in the way) when it comes to behaving ethically.

I'm sure the atheists here agree, I just thought this video summed it up well.
