What is morality?
#4
RE: What is morality?
Basically morality is a set of rules that social creatures use to get along with each other. They can vary from group to group, and it's usually the morals held by those in the highest authority that are the ones that cement into the culture. They are fluid, often change with the times, and can be based on subjective and objective things. It's always better to ground it in proven facts than personal opinion. For instance almost everyone can agree that killing is generally bad, but most groups will agree that sometimes killing is acceptable. So it's not objectively wrong to kill, because it's not wrong in every instance imaginable.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."
