what are we supposed to say again when christians ask us where we get our morality?

[Neo-Scholastic]

I get my morals from my empathy and my compassion for my fellow man.

I believe that man has a biological and evolutionary imperative to help one another.

I believe that man evolved his sense of family and empathy as part of our survival in a harsh world. Had all humans been sociopathic loners, we'd have died off many millennia ago. Only by sticking together and forming communities did we overcome the myriad of obstacles. Therefore, compassion and empathy are hard wired in most people.

That is where I feel we get our morals from.

That's really just another way of saying "might makes right."

So I guess when cockroaches scurry into dark corners they are acting as moral agents? After all an evolved adaptation is an adaptation. What is the difference between human empathy and the cockroaches instinct to flee?
