Where does it say that? Morality is grounded in prescriptions to society. Ethics, or rather the study of Ethics is more concerned with what is the good and what is the good life. You effectively state that there is no ethics without a religiously prescribed morality. I disagree completely. You can have a strong ethical system that makes no reference to any religion. Why not be good for goodness sake. You do not need some weird old guy with a long beard floating around in a cloud to tell you what is right or wrong. Or at least that is what you're suggesting. > Your ranting about religion and morality is no argument at all, >just a child whining that they want their own way. And you're cute too. If you cannot adequately answer, invariablely you go for insults, its almost formulaic. Try disputing the idea instead of the insult. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:291808 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
