>>Morality Self-imposed?
>>>>Your EDIT(impersonal) explanation of the universe does not sufficiently explain either personality or morality>>>>

>>You need to read a bit about the current understanding of the brain and personality as one of its functions. As for morality, it is self-imposed by persons in a community. Example: Inuits (eskimos) do not have a word for "jealousy" and they would offer their wives to guests. Another example: some tribes have cannibalism. Id est: One person's morality can be very different from another's and hence is not engraved into humans from "creation".>>

Do you really believe We The People - ie. individuals - are the End/Source of truth, justice and morality?
