Allow this discussion to be a religious/areligious debate on "moral compass," without bashing of specific belief systems. If I may borrow a statement made on another thread to initiate this discussion:
I am of the opinion our moral compass has nothing to do with religions. As I have seen it, some people have an internal moral compass, others do not, irrespective of their beliefs. It is only when these compasses are written down by those who "have" them that others who do not can benefit from the learning. In other words, some internally develop a moral compass, some have to learn from others how to possess one. And then, there's the ones who do not develop and have no interest in learning.
What are your thoughts?
"the standard of operation, using religion to guide some of our laws (really it guides our moral compass which guides our laws in turn but that's off topic)."
