"nothing is true, everything is permitted"- Assassins creed.
We can all agree on right and wrong? It seems to be the case that we can't
All condemn Saddam? You should've seen the people on ummah.com forums when he died all praying for God to have mercy on his soul.
No but perhaps we constantly need myths. In the same way bats sing and they feel the need to. We might of needed to incline to myths. Over time, some foundational beliefs developed. For example, we value family because it works a lot. We love our parents and respect them more, because it worked.
We don't know if it's right or wrong or if there is such a thing.
Truth might destroy us. Myth/religion might save us.
