Morality

[Acrobat]

Why do you think we have different morals now than, say, those we had 2,000 years ago?

Hello?  Anybody home?

That depends on what difference you're talking about, some of those differences might be a product of delusions, or falsehoods. Like the Holocaust being built on lies about the Jews.

At the same time, if we were to compile together all the different texts from human civilizations, that outlines moral guidelines and principles, you'd find that there's a great deal of similarity in these outlooks more so than differences.

In fact a variety of studies have shown, that people across cultures, appear to have similar responses to a variety of moral situations, that we share a universal core morality, that just didn't appear now, but has been a part of us from the dawn of human history.

I guess the question could be, even though we share a lot of our moral outlooks in common, why do we still hold some differences, even among semi-reasonable people, and my answer is that some moral questions are complicated, much like truth, which can also differ as a result of it's complexities even among reasonable people, across cultures.
