I'm not sure how it could lead us to an universal moral. First, one must define what's desired and what's not; and this is entirely subjective:
That is not going to prevent a logical person from doing it; logic is relative and need a frame of reference, just as velocity is meaningless without having anything to measure it with regards to.To kill an innocent person is irrational destruction, and causes unnecessary pain.
Furthermore, what is really an innocent person? You'll find that these views vary a lot from situation to situation; he who considers himself innnocent might be considered guilty by others.

That said, I do absolutely agree that it's entirely possible to have morality without religion, just as you say. In fact, I'll say that the opposite view is outright absurd
Non-religious. I'm not sure what to answer to the second question; but no doubt, I have plenty of time to figure out.I'd be interested to know the approach taken by everyone. Not to hijack the thread, but would everyone be so kind as to indicate where they stand on this issue, included within their on-topic posts?![]()
