Does morality have to be connected to spirituality in some way?

Answer 1

Morality is a code of conduct and
spirituality is a perceived sense of connection forming a central defining characteristic.

I'm not sure if they have to be connected in some way. It seems they go together very well. I suppose you could have morality without spirtuality or the other way round.

Military morality does not necessarily go hand in hand with spirituality, although it can.

Answer 2

A spiritual person is by definition a moral person. I hope you are working truly at becoming more spiritual, and not getting adversely affected by our traditional religions, and their backwards ideas. We need better spiritual ideas, than those that predate science, then maybe we will have a more moral and spiritual world in the future, and people will start address the serious problems that we have so many of in today's world. God would like that.

Answer 3

Yes. There's an Universal Morality, so to speak, linked to Universal Laws, all of them out of Love.

Answer 4

Morality is spiritual. If you want to talk about what is right or wrong in a neutral way, you have to talk about ethics.
Morality is what we use until we understand WHY what is wrong, is wrong.

For example, a kid, their parents teach him he doesnt have to steal because is bad. But then he grows up and understand why stealing is bad...That is the big difference.

Answer 5

there is no separation. people try to separate them but it is impossible. we get our morality from our culture even if we are considering ourself non-spiritual. that fact is that our cultural morals is based on spiritual beliefs of olden times even if we are denying the presence of a god. if you are an atheist....you still practice spiritual things and get your spiritual ideas through our culture that has come from spirituality. do not be deceived. there is no separation. our laws in america are based on our common belief system that stemmed from christianity. we can take the word God out of it all we want but the root is still there.

Answer 6

Yes,man comprises of spirit, soul n body(flesh).The spirit relates with God and devil, these are spirit beings.Humam mind is part of it spirit being,what d mind conceives is carried out by the body including your speech.As such,the moral or imoral life is determined by the spiritual condition of the mind. Bible says out of the abundance of the heart(mind)the mouth speaks.As a man thinked in his heart so is he. Good tree brings out good fruits.Therefore,for u to live an acceptable moral life, work of grace must be done on the spirit being.Morality depends on mind's set with conciousness of what d person is or is saying he or she is.No exhibition of livestyle or character that is not backed up the spirit being.

Answer 7

Only in the sense that all are born with a vestige of God's Law in their hearts. But perfect heathen can make up moral rules.......usually they make up more than God has given because they have no standard/absolute.

Answer 8

To me they both go hand in hand. You can be taught right from wrong, but believing and faith is the way to continue to follow the right way and know more of the right ways.
Just morality is too hard to break and over look if a nonbeliever. We need God to guide us and walk with us to keep our morals in place and feel the real quilt when we do wrong and to go to Him to repent for those wrongs and sins...xx

Answer 9

Not necessarily. You may not be spiritual or maybe think you're thin and still you can profess your own moral, either good or bad. One doesn't necessarily entail the other.

Answer 10

no, the two often overlap, but one can have one without the other. Atheists tend to be moral people, while theoretically spiritual Fundies tend not to be.
