Morality without the righteous. What is right and wrong?

RE: Morality without the righteous. What is right and wrong?

Yes, relative to a particular moral code.

Wrong. Existence of god does not necessitate him dictating a morality. Nor does it necessitate the believer accepting it.

(March 13, 2013 at 2:05 am)Muslim Scholar Wrote: If not, then it is usually what the majority (or in power) accept as wrong or good


Wrong again. There are many other options available.

(March 13, 2013 at 2:05 am)Muslim Scholar Wrote: for example it is right (for most people to eat chicken) but I'm sure it is wrong (from the chicken point of view)

That would assume that the chicken has a moral point of view, which would make it a moral agent and therefore the process of eating it immoral by default.
