People have lived together in groups for perhaps fifty million years--long before Jehova or Allah were invented. Today we live in a period of human progress known as CIVILIZATION. We have covered the Earth and we are seeking the stars. We STILL live in groups. We have had 50,000,000 years for our groups to develop standards of behavior. Of course, a tree has branches. Of course, the group must survive. In our culture the major group is the Federal Government. They have rules and principles to reflect ethical ideas common to western culture. Under their aegis are all the States which have their own moral rules and principles subsumed. naturally--all the States have myriad religious and philosophical and other groups who believe in their Absolute wisdom! Within these wize "nowitall" groups are myriad other groups. They are also "nowitalls"! Eventually it ends in the family and the individual. Now...what if there were only two people in a moral disagreement? One could call on Jehovah and one on Allah but the one left alive would still be the one with the stick or the rock...because Manitou would not allow other Gods to interfere.
