Spirituality part of morality?
#2
RE: Spirituality part of morality?
Quote:Morality is a code that we acknowledge. We all differ with morality, and hence it is relative. However for those who acknowledge it, they have to acknowledge some morality is superior to others which shows there is an objective morality and standard, even if majority if not all humans don't have it.

Some moral codes being 'superior' to others in no wise indicates an objective moral standard. Some apples are superior to others, but that doesn't justify postulating some objectively perfect apple.

Quote:That said, if a soul exists and God exists, wouldn't it part of morality and goodness to be spiritual.

In the words of the Laconians: 'If'.

Quote:If that is the case, then morality encompasses spirituality. But how can spirituality be part of morality if there is no basis to it (ie. no God, no soul?).

You're repeating yourself, I think. You just said that IF souls and God exists, then morality is spiritual. Now you seem to be saying that spirituality can't be part of morality if God and souls DON'T exist. Well...duh.

Quote:Morality encompasses spirituality. Yet spirituality is suppose to be an delusion. If this is true, then some of morality would be a delusion. But if we acknowledge morality and acknowledge that it is good to spiritual if God exists, then this is highly problematic without acknowledging a basis to it which is God existing.

I fail to see where it is problematic, since morality can ONLY be spiritual IF God exists (you said so yourself). If God doesn't exist, then there is no problem whatsoever with morality being non-spiritual. QED.
