Don't fool yourself...morality is behavior controled by threat of consequence...like jail or hell. Please, decadence is rapent without authority oversight. Social morallity are rules of peace in order not to disturb the tranquellity of money markets, trade, and the business of getting rich? It isn,t about right or wrong...its a question of following the rule of power. Was slavery in the 1800 moral? No, but it was the law of the land to get rich on plantations. What about the Canites?

You forget that slavery was biblically supported. The sad thing about religious people is that they will interpret the bible to suit their needs. God did not create man at all. It has become apparent that man created god and religion, because god and religion both coincide with precisely what man wants.

I didn't forget the bible mention slavery? I'm saying that morality is an illusion? Morallity is the act of following rules as to avoid consequences. Ever read lord of the flies??

ebg, you will need to be more clear as to what point you are intending to make.

Yes, because stoning children to death because they disagree with us is oh so moral. 
I've explained that passage more times than I care to count, the passage is not about little children, if you're interested in the explanation, which I'm sure you're not because you're like others truth means nothing to you. As long as you can believe you're right truth doesn't have a place for you.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Scripture means whatever the interpreter wishes it to mean. It does not mean what God meant it to convey, because man created God and religion to mirror his own soul and his own desires.

Utter rot, morality comes from empathy.
Some people do not have any, and we call these people republicans.

Morality doesn't exist, since the world is essentially a free for all.
Anything goes, without description.

I call POE.

POE? Who needs morals? We essentially do as we please in life, and nothing can be called "evil".
