The evolution of morality

So do you believe that an objective standard for morality can exist or not?

Right! Your god wants dead people. Nice fit with the HEL.

Why does my God refer to death as "the last enemy" ?

Don't bother even thinking about it or answering.
It looks like nothing worth anything will come out of your thinking on the subject matter.

Sleep on there. We'll just step over you and keep moving.

You really do need to stop asking this.

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

The questions that make us uncomfortable are the ones we really should be asking.

OK here is one for you to ask yourself.

"Why am I so insecure in my beliefs that I have to keep asking questions of others."

Good Luck

What is it you think I am insecure about exactly?

I don't know.
Ask a professional.

Our morality is a result of our life experiences and biological make-up. We do not simply get to choose what to think and feel. So I don't think 'personal preference' is the correct choice of words.

All the knowledge you contain in your head.

The guy asking the questions is not insecure, it’s the guy begging for the questions to stop.
