Morality

[Peter44]

Just like to say: Those that are going on about laws and morality are missing the point. Law has absolutely nothing to do with morality.

On Kolbergs scale (1 to 6) Law and order is cleary defined at about level 4 usually acheived by chidren of 11 or 12 years old. Of course most of these children never leave that level (because of culture and religion) levels 5 and 6 dont seem to be understood by many on this thread.

Impressive display of douchiness...

Law has a LOT to do with morality. Look at any law system and you'll have a really good idea of what kind of people it governs and what the consensus' morals are, even what kind of history they had. Law is an impressively precise blueprint of the society that created it. Do not underestimate its importance.

What is legal and what is moral are two things that are very connected to each other. As proof, for a very long time, tribunals were ecclesiastic: the moral authorities and the legal authorities were one and the same.

I think this is just ignorance. In many Islamic countries the law demands death for blasphamy for instance.
That is not moral.

I could go on and give many examples of Christian Jewish and Islamic laws that have no moral content whatsoever in fact they have just the opposite.
To suggest that Law in anyway equates to morality is just ignorance probably induced my indoctrination.

You have no idea what your talking about.
What is legal and what is moral differs all over the world. I have been there.

There is no connection. Moral and legal authorities are nothing like each other.
One example will suffice;

It is moral not to kill.

It is Sharia Law to kill apostates.

Get real.
