Do we need God for Morality? [Spirituality & Religion]

@Keepitsimple Who constructs the framework in which your concious operates?

Each person I suppose. Some people can do things easily with no regard of anybody else or guilt that I wouldn’t be able to live with myself. 🤷🏻‍♀️ @Kwek00

@Keepitsimple Your concious is a part of your identity. And your identity is forged by external and internal elements. If you grow up in a patriarchical society where women need to be in the kitchen and not do annything wrong. And that it's the mans' duty to keep them in check for the benefit of everyone. Then your concious will tell you to take out the belt when it's nescessary.

In our liberal communities, we are tought, that this is the wrong thing to do. That women are equal and have the right to find their own happiness. In our communities, most people will argue that taking out the belt to keep your woman in check is wrong.

That's the diffrence... In history, you'll find attrocities done by people that all believed they were doing the right thing. Because conciouss, your heart, love... what ever, it all get defined by where you grow up, in what time frame, and what ideas are dominant in your life. The idea that attrocities only get commited by heartless bastards that don't have a concious is (at least for me) a fairy tale that we tell ourselves to feel better about our own morality.
