Moral standards
#27
RE: Moral standards
I think trial and error has a lot to do with morals. Thousands of years of interaction have taught us what is generally acceptable or unacceptable. It wasn't that long ago when torturing and killing the "heretics" that you read here was not only moral but your duty and path to salvation. It still is in some places. What happened? Did god change his mind or did people start to see through the bullshit and stop believing in religion's claim to be the universe's sole purveyor of morality?
