what are we supposed to say again when christians ask us where we get our morality?
RE: what are we supposed to say again when christians ask us where we get our morality?
For you, granted, but for me, as per my example it does. I'm unnecessary. Nature informs me in the same way that math informs me that 1+2=3. I can't say that 1+2=4 anymore than I can say that if nature provides a scenario that doesn't fit my criteria - then it's still right, because I want it to be right. It's wrong.

Not trumpeting the superiority or the accuracy of any system derived this way, only offering the possibility that such a system can exist (does, indeed, exist).

edit: there ya go brutha. take special note of adden10. "Evolution and moral ecology"
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
