[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 805041, member: 13254"] I believe that some time in history there were places where people lived that had never heard of any of the "religions" that we have today, yet those people still had a moral compass that guided what they did and how they treated each other, otherwise the communities would have never survived. I suppose there could have been many that didn't survive by not having that compass. I have never felt religion and morality were mutually exclusive, obviously they are not. bbsam, if society were able to have a shared value(moral/ethic) system, there would be no need for a government to abuse power. WK's assertion of shared global moral basics, I don't disagree. The organized religions and governments deciding what to do about anyone violating those morals is what creates the differences. IMHO.
