Answer 2

Morality is a system of principles and judgments based on cultural, religious, and philosophical concepts and beliefs, by which humans determine whether given actions are right or wrong. These concepts and beliefs are often generalized and codified by a culture or group, and thus serve to regulate the behaviour of its members. Conformity to such codification may also be called morality, and the group may depend on widespread conformity to such codes for its continued existence.

Morality is that unwritten code that should be engrained into everyones heart. It tells us right from wrong. Jesus, for Christians, is the perfect model of morality and love. His Word and His actions are to be emulated.

Answer 6

Although the morality of people and their ethics amount to the same thing, there is a usage that restricts morality to systems such as that of Kant, based on notions such as duty, obligation, and principles of conduct, reserving ethics for the more Aristotelian approach to practical reasoning, based on the notion of a virtue, and generally avoiding the separation of ‘moral’ considerations from other practical considerations. ...

Morality is that to which society belives are traits and values people should adhere to in order to be accepted as mainstream. Christian morality adds another layer, saddled by religion, of ideas and philospophies which it's believers are to follow in order to be "perfect" like Christ was.

Answer 8

That is a good question when you hear a preacher give a sermon he only says be good. Never saying what good is.
How many would listen if he said, "Don't commit adultry."
1 Cor. 6:9 Says that unrighteous persons will not inherit god's kingdom. Neither fornicators, idolaters, nor adulterers nor men who lie with men nor thieves nor greedy persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit God's kingdom.
Yet most preachers are extortioners taking money for the poor and it ends up as their pay check.
If he said that no one would give him money so he says, Jesus forgives all sin and you don't have to worry about being obedient.
Even though that is not what the bible says.

Answer 9

Good and evil don't actually exist in reality, at least not outside of the mind that believes in them. They are only judgments passed by the individual from their own unique perspective. What one person sees as bad or evil may seem to be the only logical thing to do from some other perspective. The ideas of both good and evil are point of view specific. This is why people like bush and bin laden are either loved or hated. Bush is seen as good by people who share his fear based thought system. Those who have a compassionate concern for all of mankind often see him as evil.

Bin laden is much the same. He is a villain in much of the western world, but he is somewhat of a celebrated pop star on the Middle East. There are T-shirt shops that sell items with his picture as though he was Jesus. It all depends on your point of view or perspective.

To sum it all up good is the name we give to people who do things that we think we like.

Evil is the name we give to people who do the things that we don’t like.

This is of course based solely on our particular point of view.
