My morals are, like many of yours, chosen morals and follow closely to our virian
virtues. They are indeed selected and I expect no one else use them, though some
obviously do. There is little doubt though, and I think I would have luck if we
were to crunch the numbers, that people who live by a morality similar to mine,
are guilty of less destruction, murder, genocide, rape etc... than those who
follow the religiously tought morality of any religion of consequence.
It seems to me that morals and fact cannot be reconciled, that morals exist only
in the space of the mind.
