What IS good, and how do we determine it?

[abaris]

I do think it is important to ask ourselves why we believe what we believe about morality and not just blindly follow a certain path just because our religion tells us to. It is important to understand *why* it does.

Because we're a social species, simple as that.

Please, don't dissapoint me. Do some reasearch and look up the experiments of Brian Hare, one of the leading experts on dogs and apes and Frans Van der Vaal and you will see what I mean that we're not as special as religion tries to make us out to be. Also look at the youtube channel kokoflix. It's about the life of a gorilla who's learned human sign language.
