Lets start this out by saying that I don't want this to turn into a debate about religion. We have FAR too many of those.
As a society, we have a detailed code of what is right and what is wrong. Laws are put in place to try to discourage people from doing something that is "wrong." But where do these concepts of right and wrong come from? Don't say that it comes from some sort of higher power. First, that's all bs, but more importantly, these concepts of right and wrong have been around far longer than any modern religions. What makes something right? More importantly, what makes something wrong? discuss. |

Well, first off there is nothing I hate more then a person stating an opinion in the form of a statement...so be careful how you word things and second of all..
like it or not... this country was built on christian morals. No joke, the first settlers were some form of christians...or whatever...and the morals come from their beliefs...which got turned into laws...in which case we keep most of them today. |
