Why Are Morals So Important?
Shouldn’t, we All Just Embrace, our inner animal. Let are carnal desires come forth. Should, the strong survive and smart triumph over the weak and lesser minded? Why should we care about morals? Wouldn’t it be better to just go back to a time, when food, reproduction, and power were all that mattered?
Should we let our inner animals come forth, the tigers, wolves, bears, and lions? The Venomous And Quick, should they triumph over the lesser beings?

Strong Live and Weak Die.
If someone is stronger than me, than so be it.

So you wouldnt mind if I killed you and your family to eat them because I was hungry?
Hmm... No, I don't think your worldview is going to become terribly popular.

There is no "inner" animal. It's all right there up front. You're just romanticizing our behavior - making morality out to be something more than it is. Morals are an integral part of how our animal species conducts its business of survival and successful procreation. The general concept is called "culture." and humans have, AS ANIMALS, developed those forms of behavior. And we're not alone in that regard.
Those who harbor illusions that "morality" is given to humanity by deities know little about humans. That "inner animal" you're looking for can be seen in the mirror.

Hardly anyone wants to live in a world like this. Would you want someone to rape you or your child? Then you have to be willing to live in a world of laws. Humans are social animals who evolved to live in societies. Societies can't exist in anarchy so in necessity we have moral guidelines and laws. Treat others as you wish to be treated. In a sense though the strong and smart to tend to do better in society in terms of achievement. We take care of the needy to an extent though because we know that a livable society for ourselves is based on the ideals of a certain level of reciprocity.

Darwinism taken to its logical end. IF mankind is merely an animal, THEN amorality would make sense. Do you really want to throw out all human spirituality? The Greys of Zeta Reticulus have done that and have indeed become technologically very advanced. But they are spiritually empty, and have a kind of pain caused by their choice which cannot be quieted. We are of interest to them BECAUSE we are spiritual creatures. They think they can harness us to their purposes, but they are wrong. Spirit is a higher form than matter. We need to embrace that, now more than ever.

I do not understand what your problem is. In the human society it is, as you describe. Compassion, love and understanding are empty words to the majority of people.
However, those who appear weak to those venimous, need not be weak in the eyes of God. There is external and internal strength, and the internal strenght is always stronger, in the end. This is not because of the human, but because of the Divine laws.
Of course, sometimes the cause and effect are not immediately obvious, and that leads some pople to believing that ruthlesness is all there is to win. Believe me, it is a sure way to lose.

Well put! That is what athiesm and evolution ultimately lead to. The survival of the fittest. However when you bring God into the picture moral values become of utmost importance and care and concern about others becomes the foundation for society and culture.

Thank you but I prefer not to live like an animal.
Morals are needed because they help keep society cohesive. It allows one set of humans not to prey on another. Natural selection will take care of weaker genetic strains in it's own way and in it's own time.

The tigers, wolves and bears have more morals than humans.
You won't see them kill for pleasure. They only kill for food.
Animals take better care of their families than some humans do.
Animals have grace and morals.
Human kill for fun, torture people and are racists and evil.
You are an ignorant. Get some education.

That happens on a daily basis. Do you live in a big city in the US? it happens on the street, it happens in the boardrooms of the rich and elite.
You think that Donald Trump got to where he is now by being a nice guy? Heck no.
He just did what we all do in a more civilized manner that's all.
