does anyone still believe in morality?

Answer 1

Of course
.

Answer 2

Define morality... :) Given the right circumstances even the most trustworthy & moral of people can carry out immoral acts, as I'm sure the question asker must be aware of... It's happened to us all. I'd say morality is an aspiration and something leanred frome experiences.

I think you can 'believe' in it so much as hope for it in yourself and others, it is possible to attain it or to find one who's learnt that immorality breeds immortality to no best end.

But when our culture almost worships immorality in terms of criminality and infidelity amongst the rich & famous (OJ any one?!) and the religions which teach morality only end up exposed as containing paedophiles or killers, I think its getting harder and hard for people to be moral, for a lot of people, it seems to be a case of the whole world's going to hell in a handbasket, so why not enjoy the ride?
Which only leads us further down a road to destruction in many ways.

Answer 3

Everyone says with their mouths that there is no right and wrong, that morality is relative -- at least most people. Actually what they are really saying is that they don't want anyone criticizing, condemning or stopping them from having sex any way they want. They want total sexual freedom with all the restrictions off. In all other areas though, when stuff happens to them, they then reveal that they do believe in an absolute morality. Morality is not relative when suddenly someone attacks you in the street. It is only relative in the classroom or in discussion. In a crisis we appeal to absolute morality ever time when it happens to us. Right and wrong is suddenly quite clear. In my search for truth, I have discovered that people all have a natural law hardwired into their main frame, as it were. Even children's "that's not fair" statements reveals our innate appeal to the same standard that everyone is accountable to. That's not fair means you know the law and you know that is not right, and I am appealing to you to do right. There is no relative truth here.

I also have come to realize that the knowledge of God is hardwired into our mainframes too. It is hidden and mostly we are unaware of it so that often we deny it, but in a deep crisis where our lives are on the line, time and time again, at that very moment the knowledge of God comes out of the depths of our spirit. At that precise moment there is no doubt about God's existence and ability to help, and we call on God to save us.

I also have seen that we all believe in judgment to come. We "say" we don't, but I have watched our reaction against a heinous crime that is so awful it scarcely can be endured. We want the perp to suffer. Killing him is not enough. I have heard, "stab his eyes with pins, cut off his fingers and toes slowly, and stuff like that coming out of the lips of regular people who are crying out for justice. We do believe in justice, judgment and punishment for others. It is just ourselves we are quite a bit reticent to judge or let anyone else judge. So no matter how free we live, we never escape that nagging feeling that we have done wrong. There is not a human being alive, who says that he is a good person, who would allow his life to be put up on a movie screen for everyone to watch. So with the mouth we say we have a license to do what was formerly known as sin, but with our visceral reactions we truly say there is a right and wrong, God and justice.

Answer 4

Of course we do!

Morality refers to the concept of human ethics which pertains to matters of good and evil —also referred to as "right or wrong", used within three contexts: individual conscience; systems of principles and judgments — sometimes called moral values —shared within a cultural, religious, secular, Humanist, or philosophical community; and codes of behavior or conduct.

Personal morality defines and distinguishes among right and wrong intentions, motivations or actions, as these have been learned, engendered, or otherwise developed within each individual.

The whole idea of morality is a good deal more complex then whether we have loose morals or not.

Answer 5

Yes and the older I get, the more moral I am. Thank God.

Answer 6

Yes but no. If your sense of morality conflicts with mine, are you still moral? Would you impose your beliefs of others? Would you let others impose on you? And if you are moral, are you also superior?

Answer 7

yes i do, i still wud like to believe that the world is not devoid of good ppl and honesty. i thnk whn we complain about somone or somthing being unfaithful and immoral, we tent to gorget that, we also have our share of blaming. we shud always hope for the best and treat others as the way we want thm to treat me.

hving said this, i must tell u i do get jittery and angry on certain thngs , i do give in to immorral things passively, but i hardly do anythng to hurt others.

Answer 8

Depends on what you mean by morality. Do you mean religion? If so, then no. If you mean that society has rules and we should live by them, then yes.

Answer 9

Of coz !!! I do !!

That's the only way to stay humane. Without morality, it the roots of many chaos.

Answer 10

Yes, that why the world still exists.
