Hey Gregory, is your glass always half empty?
One more thing (Columbo movies ), in regards to post 87. In the early years of recorded Judaio Christendom, there was a Theocracy. A government set up by God to deal with His people. That was done away with when His people wanted a king instead. God is no longer in the "legislating morality" business (according to the Bible), but is in the life changing business.
I'll quit hogging this thread and go to bed. I hope I did not offend any. I would die for my belief, but also for your right to disagree. People die for their beliefs every day. The real trick is to live for them.

"Logically" speaking, without a single standard to look to, there is nothing that says morality is to be followed more than lack of it. The argument would be that "morality" is needed for the preservation of our species or it is needed to keep from infringing on the rites of others.
