Morality is a funny concept. The very notion of it is so… arbitrary. Where does it come from? Are we born with a sense of morals or are our morals taught to us? Perhaps it is a combination of the two. As with most of these sorts of discussions, the later is the case. However, one hears so much about the arguments between both sides. I personally love to find the silver lining from all points of view, but on this one the case definitely leans towards a single direction. Books and words do not create morality. A review of history shows that heinous acts are committed by religious and non-religious people alike. The notion that non-religious folk are devoid of moral judgment because of their lack of faith (or reading) is asinine. An understanding of the law requires books and learned knowledge. But, a sense of morality is indeed embedded within. This is why we don't come out of the womb attacking our mothers; we have enough ingrained sense to understand and appreciate those who take care of us. Of course there are those who seem barren in terms of compassion or remorse. But the world of humans is a twisted place. Our ways of living strip us of our instincts and intuitions. Though, if there was one thing my intuition has caught on to it's that if I wanted to gather a group of followers to support my cause I'd tell them I had not only the answers and keys to salvation, but also the very thing that reminds us of our humanity: our morality.
