Bill,
I can’t believe this forum (I am rather new here, regular in other forums), it is like conversing with children. Morality and Religion do not differ much as a higher sentience is encompassed by the ultimate ideals of morality, whereas mere humane morality is not! Secular morality (the morality code I assume is mentioned here) is fundamentally flawed in aspects of altruism. An altruist cannot co-exist in a secular morality world because society would be just using him/her, this in a case of ‘pure altruism’ only it would seem. This has serious ethical breach implications, and falls short of various established Ethical models. *Long Essay of Mine Should go Here*
Ubermensch,
What is right has already been established through eons of human sentient thinking, and logical deduction would indicate that if a God exists then indeed he would epitomize all of humanity’s ideal with chance of going a step further even – a visionary state of taking into account factors of time, the past and the future to be...
What is right certainly needs framing, and a great degree of awareness of all afflicted incumbents and the eventual notion of the ‘greater good’ should be considered with at least two different ethical models I know. However, the main dogma with secular morality, that is discussed by theists out there, is the acceptance of acts such as bestiality, homosexuality, willing violence (from both sides), and the such... Where religious morality in ‘general’ sets some more solid mandates. But the thing is this only on the strictest dogma out there, the future of religion is one of new age reasoning, after all, any individual is allowed to do wrong to their own selves through any of the pre-mentioned acts, it is a sin to oneself only, and if it does not impact others it is valid. Anglican priests have a very liberal interpretation of the bible (as do many other priests and Christians), and I tend to affiliate more with these sensible groups.
The OP comment stating that ‘religion is doing what you are told regardless of what is right’ is completely ludricous... Religion is always about what is right, this not only from a humanity stance but from a higher more evolved sentience that does care. The concept of ‘secular morality’ is flawed, only slightly, just all of yas remember that...
