Morality

Human Savagery, Lex Talionis, and The Golden Rule

part 1

An extraction from the book, Adeology

From the section: A Few Words

        One of the main disagreements in the god-debate is about Morality—often referred to as, Absolute Morality. But, to the believer, it is never about morality; it is always about where morality comes from, which needlessly complicates the matter. Believers love to believe they live on higher moral ground because they believe their god tells them so, which, in turn, immediately puts them on lower, shaky ground. Believers of all kinds believe this, regardless if religion is involved. It is the belief in god which allows for such dangerous, arrogant ignorance. One wouldn’t think morality would be so controversial, but it is—terribly so.

…hence, adeology.
