ALL morality is based, ultimately, on fairness, compassion, and thinking through consequences. Anything that deviates from those basics leads to immorality.
I don’t see how repeating the claim answers the question of how you came to that conclusion. I also believe that you missed the second question as well.
I am addressing where our moral sense comes from. yes, we agree that the man is wrong in beating his wife. The question is why do we believe that. And my position is that we are evolved to be a social species with pair bonding. Deities are not required for a moral sense to have evolved.
