Lately I have been thinking about morality and it's source.
I was wondering where does morality come from. I know of Natural Law which is common among human kind but it is by no means a high standard of morality but rather a standard of good that separates us from the animal world.
Culture doesn't seem to be a viable source because it is always changing which would make morality become a slippery slope to evil.
Law creates a standard of morality but as I look at the news, even that changes constantly. Suddenly it seems that everything is alright for one reason or another.
If what we are looking for is a society without Biblical or religious influence to dictate morality what is going to happen to human kind?
