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. There is (imo) no way to "prove" the source of morality- it was stated by Ebill- in a rather spectacularly silly fashion- that there was some sort of general agreement that morality came from religion. As far as I and Steven know there is no such agreement. We can all speculate (and Steven and I have done this- quite reasonably) about how notions of morality arose. No one here is in a position to prove anything much about this discussion; not where morality came from; not who is moral and who is not. The fact that you seem to think there is anything TO be proved here makes me wonder at your logic.
