I really just want to argue. This is my “logical view, but I don’t actually believe it on an emotional level, or act like I believe it. What are perspectives against this if you are acting from the perspective that there is no single god that sets forth rules, and that he has determined Good and Evil? That, of course, is just as much a logical argument as anything, it seems to me, because it can’t be disproven, much in the same way that the existence of right and wrong can’t be proven or disproven. People always say that making the argument of “well, I can’t disprove it” isn’t very logical, but we can’t disprove a whole lot of other things that we believe very strongly. I mean, heck, I believe very strongly that there is a fan in my room, but is it really a fan or just waves that my brain interprets in a certain way? I can bump into it, physically, but does that really prove it’s a fan? Anyways, I generally attempt to ignore thoughts like this but I felt like discussing it tonight. Morals seem to me to be agreements that societies make to keep things running smoothly, and they come from a genetic need to balance a society of extremely intelligent primates. That’s why we can feel so strongly that something is right or wrong.
Morals are cultural fitness strategies in response to environmental pressures.
