Man's morality

[Darkstar]

Morality is not true Righteousness or God's Righteousness. God's Righteousness is a sinless standard no one can achieve.

Morality says: It is ok to lie to save your friend's life.

Righteousness says: it is always a sin to lie no matter what the reason.

God's righteousness is absolute, and never changes.

Man's Morality is on a sliding scale always identified by the lessor of two evils.

That said know that 'morality' is not the universal standard of good. Morality is a constantly changing to suit the the personal or civil righteousness of a community of people. What once was moral could now be considered a crime, and vise versa.

Trying to create a ruleset that applies to every situation is a fool's errand; there will always be exceptions (as the section I bolded demonstrates). The fact that morality is adaptable can function as a double edged sword sometimes, but ultimately the ability to make revisions puts it ahead of something that will be wrong forever. Just because it doesn't change doesn't mean it was right in the first place.

Also, one can say anything is moral if they want, but they can't change objective facts about reality. I don't have the time or energy at the moment to reiterate my stance on how morals can be determined, but accepting them without question from a 2000+ year old book (that probably isn't even factual) is not part of my method, needless to say.

You can post whatever definition of morality you want, but it doesn't make you correct.
