From a lurker... You guys are doing it again. You always do it. And it does nothing more than give each of you a tiny lectern from which to expostulate; to, figuratively, display your masturbatory skills in public. You, it seems seriously, are discussing Morality without having, beforehand, agreed upon a definition of what Morality is. (Read your posts. You will find you are discussing all sorts of different things - not a well-defined single topic.) Eich

How do you explain the great variety in what is "bad" around the globe, and across history? What is "bad" now, wasn't 200 years ago. Slavery, for example, was natural and right not so long ago, and of course had been practiced for centuries. Now it is "bad". Actually Twain (an abolitionist) was an iconoclast trying to change morality- he was hardly reflecting the inner morality of the majority of his time.
