[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the most morally corrupt people I have met consider themselves "good Christians".  Some of the kindest, most philanthropic people I have met are agnostic/atheist.

For me, my morals came from my mother.  Her morals came from her parents and to her parents from their parents and so on.  My family is Jewish, but my Mom raised me pretty much without religion and was able to instill in me good morals and values.  Perhaps religion molded her, but I believe it was mostly from watching her parents do good, be kind and treat others with the same respect that they expected for themselves.

I think a lot of it is socially driven as well.  I am pretty sure that the morals and values in  Congo differs from what we believe to be morally acceptable here, regardless if they have religion or not. [/quote]

Where you realize it or not, your morality (and that of your mother) was formed by religion not an innate ability to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil. [/quote]

This is just insulting to the intelligence of your readers. If you have an argument to make in this direction you should do it. Otherwise you'll drag this thread down into the muck pretty quickly.[/quote]
