"It seems to me that his answer was responsive"..."The societal belief is in most cultures religiously based, though in some it is based on morality divorced more or less successfully from religious belief. But it is never based purely on reason. It can't be." I have had time tonight to read through the last few weeks of posts here. What Neo actually said was this. You obviously do not know him very well. "I have no religiously based moral judgment. It is all a matter of philosophy, and the ethical part of my philosophy does not even depend on the existence of God, much less some ecclesiastical authority......." Neo was discussing with me his personal beliefs and opinions, as the link he supplied me with aptly demonstrated. We were not discussing how society comes to believe as it does. Message 18346657 "It is impossible to say which decision is "right" in any absolute sense. It is purely a matter of belief, as Neo has made clear." You don't seem to understand what Neo and I were discussing. And if you think that Neo believes that all beliefs are equally valid and justifiable by reason, then you are very mixed up. Your post speaks not at all to what either Neo or I said to the other.
