[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]What governs how I live my life? I don't need any external governance ... I have an internal understanding of right and wrong. Almost everybody does. [/quote]

New poster. Not being snarky- where do you think that internal understanding comes from? I am far, far, far from the conservative Christian Right. [b]But I have come to believe that we were provided this moral compass by a creator[/b]. It is when we act outside this internal sence of conscience that conflict occurs. [/quote]

Which creator? There are quite a lot of creator gods [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Creator_gods]

Of course, my believe are that all of these gods (and all gods) are mirror reflections of the societal views/leaders/power structures at the time, for those communities those creator gods (and all gods) represent.

My lack of belief in any religion or gods does not come from a place of anger - I understand the fulfillment that those tools serve for humans. It fulfills a niche. But rationally, logically, it puzzles me how one set of theological view is somehow more "right" or "real" than any other, because they ALL claim to be right & real. Does it all just come down to what you were raised as? [/quote]
