Jim Cornette on religion

[brewer]

Except the regimes that did exactly that were worse off...

Makes me think of the video Jorgy recently posted about the five varieties of moral values.  

---

Haidt's five moral dimensions as they relate to liberals and conservatives.

Everyone embraces care/harm and fairness/reciprocity but the part of the population characterized as "conservative" also embrace in-group/loyalty, authority/respect and purity/sanctity.  This really rings true for me.  While the latter three seem extraneous to the notion of morality to me (a liberal) they aren't at all to conservatives.  In this light, Huggy's point might be seen as how do you know that everyone can make do morally without religion?  Isn't it naive to think that everyone is just the same in light of all the evidence to the contrary?  The fellow in Jorg's video thinks that religion is important for conservatives.  Just because those values aren't mine doesn't mean they aren't just as important to conservatives as care/harm and fairness/reciprocity are to liberals like myself.  Who are we to think they should be more like us.  Do they really have that choice?

Define conservative. We (me/I) are not all one thing or the other.
