There isn't ONE religion in the world that doesn't agree that something's wrong with us. With humanity, in general. Every religion tells us there's something to fix, some subconscious wrong we do. Every religion knows we're designed to want, to do bad, to be evil. And (most) religions push us to be better people; and, determining on how one perceives his/her religion, sometimes a minority (gays, non-believers, etc.) are an exception to that.

>>7556857 You're an idiot, if you had put some depth to your thought you would of realized this. The likes of the morality involved with murdering someone has been a stigma that has been heavy with us for hundreds of years. The reason being that, the weak, are the majority, therefore they want security from such "atrocity" and so forth they claimed it to be "wrong".

>>7556933 Furthering my point, morals are good for business. They're there for society to both function, survive and thrive, not because there is some almighty moral system built into us.

If they see someone in the forest dying of starvation, the solitary person feels the need to feed that poor human.
Obviously it's not something we force ourselves to believe for the sake of humanity. It's an instinctual thing. Like fear. Everyone has fear. It's just a tool necessary for survival.

>>7556962 People who have lived in solitary their entire life, with their own set of codes to survive may leave the person to die in fact. On the other hand, what favors can this person do for me? That's exactly what they'll be thinking, not, I must save this poor soul. It's all about the return value and fear of reprisal, do not believe otherwise.

>>7556972 Animals don't see this because they do not have the intellect to obtain foresight to understand the concept of return value, nor do they understand the concept of reprisal and therefore are immune to are so called "morals".

Holy fuck we've had this discussion a thousand goddamn times and all it that ever happens to these threads is pretentious faggots find them and spout their retarded beliefs about how "there's no such thing as morality and we should stop conforming to society's code of right and wrong" and all this other bullshit that only a retard would believe.

>>7556995 You make an interesting point.
Does this also apply to their ability to love? Or has everyone with a good relationship with their dog/cat just been kidding themselves?

>>7557016 Love is difficult to tie down, I'll admit that. It's a lot more complicated than morals, of course love in theory could be a practice to which ensures the protection of our gene pool or beneficial relationships such as with your pet. Without that one complex emotion, our species would be a lot weaker, however, currently the way in which love is portrayed, it can become our worst enemy.

>>7557016 >>7557045 I misunderstood your question, I imagine you get my point though. An animal has a beneficial relationship with you in that, you allow it to keep active, both mentally and physically and most importantly you feed it. Of course, given that love isn't portrayed to animals in the same way , it could be entirely logical, unfortunately.

To make myself clear, I do not believe that we should stray from our code of morals or emotions, although they have been portrayed in an incorrect manner, they exist for a reason, your own benefit and in most cases, that of others too.

Dude, it's altruism. Evolution can explain it. There's nothing paranormal about it.

There is a theory that metaphysics has to exist because there was never an early atheist society. Its the idea that more natural living was "in tune" with other forces and the vague interpretations of those forces became religion.
