Do you think that our morals come from god? [Spirituality & Religion]

In history class we learned that Judaism borrowed the ten commandments from civil laws predating it. Religions are like that: stealing credit for things.

In a time before sophisticated language when grunting suggestively was the prime social norm, we managed to not rape and kill each other long enough to form cogent functioning communities. This phenomenon is in no small measure explained by the complex ecosystem of neurochemicals which drive our need for cohabitation and safety. I have seen no evidence based formulation that defines clearly either a. what god is or b. how it affects this phenomenon in any verifiable way.

I think morals greatly aided in the prosperity of our species so we evolved to have them.

Could be from what we are. For exapmle if you build a snowman when you're younger, you feel creative, you feel passion, you feel like you need to care care for that fragile thing. Or if you got your favourite toy for christmas, you'll take care of it and try not to break it. What I'm trying to say is that, how we behave and what we feel is right is based on the experiences that make us up.
An example for a religious person. As a young girl you probably were taught that God loves you when you're doing good things and He doesn't like when you sin. So I feel like that would be a easier route for you to grow a more moral and emphatic person. From your love and fear of God.

I think many times they come from our parents or the people that raised you. That said sometimes ur taught good morals and accept that as part of your life. Sometimes ur taught bad morals and accept that as part of ur life. I think in both instances it can also work completely opposite on certain individuals (although I don't think that is the norm).

I do think sometimes people have an internal barometer with morals.. But mostly I think it is a learned behavior.

For some of us everything comes from "god". For some of us nothing comes from god. I believe in an ultimate source of all things, you might call 'god', so yes. I think that everything that is, comes from that ultimate source. I don't simply believe that 'God created..' I believe that 'God perpetually creates all the time.

If we believe that we were created by "someone" doesn't that remove everything special about us?

Purpose.

Individuality.

Freedom.

Things that give our life meaning...worth.

I think our parents

we inherently know right from wrong
we may not do the right thing but we know
they've done these tests on babies
even they know
where does it come from
from echoes from the past
I don't know

No. Of course they don't. There are, or have been, hundreds of gods. Each god has a different story and all gods have been invented by people.

from us

If morals came from God they would be ethically meaningless. Like a law imposed by man. You obey or get squashed. Even a psychopath can learn to obey.

Ethics have to be created by man. We have to circumscribe limits around our actions as training so that we can express, articulate, and embody our [i]values.[/i]

Those values-- we can argue where they come from.

No, they mostly come from the way we were brought up

No

Yep

nah. we are born with an ingrained knowledge of basic morality. "Nobody has to tell you its not ok to kill yo momma" - eddie griffin

the rest is just law.

hell no. Our morals come from our family, our own sense of right/wrong and the community we live in. A lot of morality is devised from religion, but not from any god

I do declare man-made history has taught humanity a set norm of standards to attest to as their own to make living in their own eyes

To make an otherwise good person do bad things you need religion.

They come from the Universe, which is, in a sense, God.

Nope. They come from within.
