<<So you are saying BEFORE Moses came down with his little clay doodads there was NO morality? Cave men probably had some sort of "morality"- I doubt we would understand it- just as we wouldn't understand the morality of the pygmies without studying it, or of the Trobriand Islanders.>>

To have any society function you have to have some concept of morality. Even animals have limits. I'm saying the Ten Commandments are a good starting point for todays society.

<<The fact that you seem to think there is anything TO be proved here makes me wonder at your logic.>>

Quite right to question my logic. I'm the dullest knife in the rack. My take is that the Ten Commandments are a starting place. You have to have a starting place for any concept. The Big Ten do represent an idea of where society is today.
