Every day we must endure news of the atrocities and warfare between the two largest ideological factions-the Judeo/Christians and the Muslims. Am I superior to these people? Perhaps...perhaps to some of them in some arenas. . People with supernatural justification are guided by invisible beings and arbitrary rules. They have as many moralities as there are sects or indeed individuals within sects. In other words...the only restraint on their behaviour is their imagination. Consider the Muslims. Consider the Koran. Do you think (for example) their treatment of women is moral?

This bore repeating since it leads us right back to the failure of the God-argument from morality, since relative morality is a fact as far as the eye can see from sect to sect, ideology to ideology down thru time, so not about superiority but was as always about evolutionary procession in time, growing shared experience, increased sense of justice., values & fairness.
