Again - we wonder why children cannot judge right from wrong? Apparently
some adults just don't get it either. If your beliefs don't extend past your
won personal feelings, then what good are they? You can easily change them
to justify any point of view or situation you find yourself in. That is not
the true meaning of morals. You are talking a firm personal conviction. I
could stupidly believe with all my heart that Canada did not exist. I could
go to the ends of the earth telling everyone that there were no such thing.
I could shout it from the roof tops. But no matter how convicted I felt, I
would be WRONG!
The very reason our world is so screwed up is because people parrot this
"don't judge me and I won't judge you" crap. How stupid. Life is all about
making choices - i.e. judging - about actions, things and yes, PEOPLE.
Judging their character and conduct is of paramount importance. You are very
wrong about my morals not being yours and vice versa. We have both made a
choice to live in the US and thus are obligated to act in accordance with
certain rules of conduct (laws) that are most certainly rooted in religious
(and in the US more specifically Christian) principals. That makes us all
obligated to the same moral standard.
Following them does not make one Christian any more than sitting in a garage
makes one a car. It matters not your religious preference. If you live by
certain principals, you will reap the benefits. If you choose not to, you
will snuffer the consequences of that choice. Learn to judge and judge
rightly by a standard that is not dependent upon human understanding.
MORAL: Conforming to standards of what is right or just in behavior
The key is standards.

So, by your statement then, Society has been moral...when? At what age (and
I'm not talking about a person's age, I'm talking about an historical age.)
Thank you, but your morals are not mine. Neither is better than the other.
You don't know me and I don't know you. You live your life as you see fit,
I'll live mine as I see fit and as long as you don't judge me, I won't
judge you.
