No, I will just "conclude" that you must have a very strange ("religious"?) dictionary at home if it says Moral = Conception of good versus evil behaviour", as you have said.

Message 18639547

Again, if you think "moral" has anything to do with "good vs evil", that is just your (religion-based) opinion.

This is what a real dictionary says:

mor·al ( P ) Pronunciation Key (môrl, mr-)
adj.
- Of or concerned with the judgment of the goodness or badness of human action and character: moral scrutiny; a moral quandary.
- Teaching or exhibiting goodness or correctness of character and behavior: a moral lesson.
- Conforming to standards of what is right or just in behavior; virtuous: a moral life.
- Arising from conscience or the sense of right and wrong: a moral obligation.
- Having psychological rather than physical or tangible effects: a moral victory; moral support.
- Based on strong likelihood or firm conviction, rather than on the actual evidence: a moral certainty.

although I am certain you will conclude that they remain opinions of someone

Wrong, again.

If you ever get tired of being wrong, remember to respond to what I SAY rather than what you THINK I will say in the future.
