@Rhythm:
Not sure if the post was addressed to me, but I disagree with the concept of morality as a teaching aid. If someone asks "Why is stealing wrong?", and I reply "because it's immoral", all I've done is stated a tautology (stealing is wrong because it's wrong). This is why I see morality as descriptive; it is logic that can be used to define morality. There are plenty of logical arguments for why stealing is immoral; those are more convincing that simply stating it a priori.
