<What do you mean when you say "moral"? The Old Testament morality? New Testament morality? Pre Viet Nam war morality? Who will judge and legislate this moral scale?> Why dont we just begin with simple stuff like... Lying is wrong (even about sex). Lying under oath is a crime. Rape is a crime. There are many, many more than that... Labels are not necessary. Asking our leaders to keep that system intact does not seem unreasonable. This is RIGHT and WRONG - not the definition of IS...

There was a segue toward the end of your post which confused me sorry bout that...i'll try to control my segues better. What do you mean when you say "moral"? The Old Testament morality? New Testament morality? Pre Viet Nam war morality? Who will judge and legislate this moral scale? morality is not a religion imo. so i cannot answer the first two questions. viet nam has nothing to do with morality so i do not see any difference that before or after nam makes. that knocks off question three. since you related the questions to religion...i suspect you already have a satisfactory (to you) answer to the 4th question.
