Quote:They don't contradict because god is not included. Morality comes from us. We define it. We collectively agree on ethical standards. Live and let live. Basic respect and care for your fellow man is a common thing. Socially acceptable. Morality does not come from religion.So if it was socially acceptable to murder babies, that'd be okay? Or would you strongly disagree with that idea based on the obviousness of its being morally wrong.?
There have been cultures where it was socially acceptable to murder babies. Their gods told them to do stupid shit so they did it.
