I want to know if anyone thinks there are any universal morals. This requires that it be a moral all over the world.
For example, you could say "Don't kill". Then explain why you think it is truly a universal moral and if there are exceptions.

Universality is the principle.
If you don't want to be violently killed you shouldnt do it to others. If you don't want your personal things stolen, don't steal from other people.
Notice God is such a vile ogre that he does not live by this rule himself. Jesus was a refreshing change, I just wish more Christians followed his teachings.

The universal moral is to get what you want without hurting others.

'First do no harm'. This is true in medicine, and other healing arts. In Wicca and other religions said in different ways. It make sense. If we could all live by that alone over the whole world, what a different world it would be.

Do unto others as one would have done unto thee.
or as I like to say ~
Respect for the individual.
I have came to this conclusion by thinking about it. I don't think there are any exceptions. If you think there are, stop and actually think about what this golden rule means.

Try Immanuel Kant - Universal Imperative. Essentially it said do to others as you would have them do to you.

Love others as yourself,
this would do away with all the problems, all the war, all the hurt, pain & suffering.

No killing, unless you're killing killers who may have killed other killers for killers' sake.

Do onto others as you would have them do onto you.
