Morality

[Brian37]

I don't see how anyone can agree that humans do both good and bad, and still claim there is a magical super cognition running things.

There does not have to be a super cognition running things for cruelty or compassion to occur in our species. Those things are not a product of humans being poker chips. Our behaviors, for good or bad, are in our behaviors, nowhere else.

I am 52 years old. My life has not been perfect, I have certainly made mistakes, and hurt people(not criminally), but still. I simply do not assign anything I have done in my life to a super hero vs a ground villain.

I do not need Jesus or Yahweh or Buddha or Vishnu or Allah, to avoid things like stealing from my neighbor, or murdering my neighbor or raping my neighbor. I've avoided those things for long time since I left the position that I needed a god or any religion.

I simply see humans attaching good and bad needlessly to old mythology.
