Because of my thoughts on the wolf and lion (and all social animals) I am forced to play devil's advocate here. I actually agree with you, but I'd like to work on this to figure out why I don't think there's even such a thing as morality anywhere.
We can dislike a lot of things, but that doesn't mean it's right or wrong, or good or bad.
Is it wrong for an adult to have sex with an eleven year old? Western civilization calls it a heinous crime. Much of the Middle East not only considers it NOT wrong, but very right. The only difference is they call it marriage. So, we go to war on this and we win. That makes sex with children wrong. On the other hand, if they win, having sex with children is right. Is that moral? Does might make moral?
There is an ALLLL-knowing, ALLLL-powerful, inVISible being who is everywhere, who created the WHOLE universe, who lives in another dimension called heaven, who is perfect in every way, who was never born and will never die, and who watches you every minute of every day (even when you're squeezing one out on the toilet). There are also unicorns, leprechauns, Santa Claus, an Easter Bunny, and a giant purple people eater.
