Replacing Religious Morality

[shamgar]

I believe it is possible to have rational logical morality without gods. There is Universally Preferable Behavior. This is an excellent book written by Stefan Molyneaux on this very subject. I would also argue that what passes for religious morality is a false morality because it is inconsistent and has no real principles. For example we are told by religion do not murder yet soldiers do so and are given medals and praised, we are told do not steal yet our governments steal from us thru taxation and manipulation of the currency and we are told this is moral. There is no consistent logical way to say person A must do x but person b must never do x. Moral values must be universal. What is good for one must be good for all. Conversely what is bad for one must be bad for all. Moral beliefs must apply to everyone otherwise they are no better than opinions.
