Also, if morality is common sense, why do people still commit crimes against each other? Simply put - we don't know where morality 'came' from. We know it is a social construct, but what causes us to know that murder is wrong, theft is wrong, etc? For the youngest people (children), they learn that breaking moral rules results in punishment - so ultimately in modern society, morals are 'taught' by our parents/caretakers through the use of negative/positive punishment or positive/negative rewarding. It would be pretty easy to assume that religion had a role in morality - especially since most religions have similar codes and laws. Some Christians argue the case that morality was instilled in humans by God. C.S. Lewis (author of Narnia books) also spoke about this in his BBC radio broadcast during WW2. He was a pretty staunch atheist, and when faced with the horrors of the war, and the question of what is morality/justice, where does it come from? He ultimately landed on the idea of a creator/god. --- LoL IGN: MsRaffensperger ~Dennis~ <cite>SergeantGander posted [p:948563408] in So much fr...
