There arises in all of us, of any culture, universal feelings of right and

wrong.

Wrong! There is no *universal* feeling of right and wrong.


Yes there is. It is often overridden by many things. But it is there.

You believe there
is because you are ignorant of other cultures but the very notion that there
is "right" and "wrong" is the poison of Eve's Apple.


BS

Is it OK for me to
murder you and your family? It is if I'm a radical Muslim and you're a
heretic who believes in democracy and thinks men should make laws instead of
obeying the god-given sharia (sp?).


Whatever, If you did your just suckin up to your radical Muslim
friends, not following your sence of whats right or wrong.

The Taliban executed women for learning
to read, believing they followed YHWH's orders. It's also OK if you're a bit
odd. After all the "good" people of Salem who executed people for witchcraft
were fighting evil and, like serial killers and child molesters, show no
remorse. Are Michael Jackson's relations with young boys good or bad? Nazis
thought they were doing "the right thing" and, as we speak, Israel is doing
the same "right thing" to the indigineous Palistinians.


Yelp...... the way people act sometimes is sick. And I think they
know what they are doing in most cases. Take out all the politics,
overriding hate, revenge and the mental cases and talk to the average
earthling you will find most people know what is right and wrong and
act decent.

Where did we get this sense of wrongness Blobster?


From parents and peers whilst growing up from infanthood, Joe. That's why no
sense of wrongness agrees.


degree of wrongness ?


1000s doomed to die of diabetes and heart disease, or to
live out their lives as parapheligics just because some idiots sense of
wrongness says stem cell research is evil.


Politics. I have no ideal if its right or wrong. Guess that has to do
with how
the get the stem cell. If you can get them without harm, then its
great.

So much for your god-given sense of right and wrong.


There is a documentary movie named "Marjo" that you really should see.


Seen it, I liked Elmer Gantry better.
