Where does morality come from?

Jonny sometimes asks me where morality comes from. i think sam harris has done such a great job explaining it here that i have nothing else to add.

Hi Mike,

In your "Good Friday" thread, dated 02-Apr-2010 i posted a video of Sam Harris (my post was 3 April 2010 09:51).

here is the link again:

www.wimp.com/moralquestions/

Although i only gave your current link (from the huffingtonpost) a quick once over (i'll look at it more closely tomorrow or this weekend) it does seem to be the same or similar material.

Would you like to discuss it?

Hi Mike,

If you care about Christopher Hitchens, i was wondering if, maybe, you'd like to participate in prayer for him on 9/20/10 (i think that's 'pray for hitchens' day)

Although, feel free to pray for him before and after.

So Johnny, did you have a good read of that article? It made some brilliant points about religious morality vs. atheistic morality.

Why don't you name those brilliant points?

Ok Anonymous, instead of naming those brilliant points, would you care to defend them?
