re: #369 Dianna
Of course you can have morality without an appeal to a higher power. It’s a matter of looking at the fact that the world rewards decency, in the long run. It’s a social reality, and a universal one. You can’t go long without stubbing your toe on reality.
Well for example it appears the only weapon liberals have on people is ‘guilt’ and ‘self loathing’. To me ‘guilt’ comes in the form of failing to live up to a moral codex given by a higher power, perhaps it’s fantasy on my part. If we are a secular society in government, hence no God, how can we feel guilt? To what are we to feel guilty to? For what?
