I contend that this inner sense of right and wrong is not the result of an evolutionary conditioning but rather it is because we come pre-loaded with God's software. What is the practical difference in the here and now if you do right because of your divinely installed software and I do right because I'm conditioned to? Forget about the Pearly Gates. It might matter then. I'm talking about life on Earth. Karen

Well, for those of us not so aligned with your particular God, who's to say another isn't equally valid? news.bbc.co.uk Vote for that one <g> Seriously, what makes Christianity more or less true than Judaism, Islam, Hinduism or Zoroastrianism? Not to mention the less god-centred creeds such as Buddhism or Taoism? Or ones sadly extinct, such as Mithraism, or Greek or Viking polytheism... Strangely, every religion with gods seems to hold believers of any other as an infidel/heretic/pagan; at best, misguided and capable of redemption, at worst, hellbound. There's two ways they can all be 'right', of course... but either way, it doesn't matter what you believe, just how you live.
