If morality is seen as the foundation of civil order, how can we establish morality without understanding it's relationship to civil order?

Example: Tyranny may have a strong effect on civil order, but is it moral? Is it appropriate the subject the will of one person to another without choice?

What if the morality of consciousness is a reflection of the function of cohesion in matter? Where morality provides the ability for diverse peoples to function in community, similar to how the the elements of matter are stabilized together and maintained in unity to provide the structure of existence as we know it? If morality truly isn't a convention of consciousness, not something that we conceived of by our own imagination, how would that effect our understanding of nature and order?

That is inaccurate because morality and understanding go hand in hand. Without the ability to accept and understand various ideas and point of views there is little hope for morality.

Morality is only the foundation of civil order in a perfect world. If all groups, (racial and religious minorities, women, etc) don't have a say in legislating and enforcing our laws, then "civil order" will be neither CIVIL nor ORDER.

I don't know. I am not moral. So I typically don't do too good figuring out moral people. I also don't see how morals wok into the question you asked. To me, it has nothing to do with morals. It has to do with acceptance. A moral person does not necessarily have to accept anything, and yet can still be moral.

My question to a 'moral' person is: By whose standard do you lean on to call yourself 'moral'? Certainly not by God's standard, when the Bible is clear that none of us are really moral.

I honestly feel morality has little to do with the tendancy to question beliefs. Furthermore, questioning things , the way they are, is not an immoral action.

Morality is not needed to think. A sense of morality is not even needed to reason.

The first thing that needs to be done is to accept the nature and order of all things exists only for itself; all things, including humans, animals, plants, rocks, etc, morality and tyranny all exist within the nature and order of all things. Yet the nature and order of all things is not affected by them, nor do they affect it; nor does it depict between what lies within it; meaning it does not depict between what is moral or what is tyrannical; nor is it affected by morality and tyranny; we, as humans, are affected by it, at least we believe we're the only ones who are. How we're affected by morality and tyranny is how we view our existence according to the nature and order of all things; not every one views the nature and order of all things in the same way; it's meaning is different from person to person; enabling them to do as they do, be who they are and make the choices they do.**the nature and order of all things remains constant; never changing; while those things residing within it are constantly changing; affecting those within it.
