Im curious as to what non belivers think about morals and their origin. Im not trying to persuade anyone to my line of thinking, (Christian). I am simply trying to get a better understanding of how a non believer rationalizes a moral standard.
As I understand it, to be moral is to be concerned with the principles or rules of right conduct or the distinction between right and wrong.
Im guessing here and not trying to put words in anyones mouth, but would a non believer say that this standard of conduct has been generated by society as a group to help govern how we should act towards one another?
If my assuption is correct, then the question still remains un-answered...where did society come up with its standard?. Agian, im not trying to be arrogant, or presumptious, but I would like know know better the "other side of the coin". Any and all respectful answers will be appreciated.
