"Am I more moral than these people? Most assuredly so." Enough said...

Every day we must endure news of the atrocities and warfare between the two largest ideological factions-the Judeo/Christians and the Muslims. Am I superior to these people? Perhaps...perhaps to some of them in some arenas. . People with supernatural justification are guided by invisible beings and arbitrary rules. They have as many moralities as there are sects or indeed individuals within sects. In other words...the only restraint on their behaviour is their imagination. Consider the Muslims. Consider the Koran. Do you think (for example) their treatment of women is moral? This bore repeating since it leads us right back to the failure of the God-argument from morality, since relative morality is a fact as far as the eye can see from sect to sect, ideology to ideology down thru time, so not about superiority but was as always about evolutionary procession in time, growing shared experience, increased sense of justice., values & fairness.

One looks at the conditioning of such morality on these faces, forced smiles of the this North Korean audience , all bound into the greatest propriety that fear can inspire. But wasn't fear of death & eternal torment always the great inspiration? Combined with the always safe sanctity of conformity, guilt by association or insinuation, morality is always safe no matter what horrors such conformity engenders down the centuries that now can be ignored. (by the right wing cherry pickers of history, something they are truely superior at ) Death by firing squad for Kim Jong Un's ex ( is believed ) http://finance.yahoo.com/news/death-firing-squad-kim-jong-120208113.html The ex-girlfriend of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was among a number of musicians who were executed by firing squad on August 20, according to South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo. The paper reports that Hyon Song Wol, a singer and rumored former lover of Jong Un, was arrested on August 17 along with 11 other prominent artists for violating the communist nation's laws against pornography. Three days later, they were killed in front of their immediate families and other members of North Korea's famous pop groups. These onlookers were then sent to prison camps due to the regime's assumption of guilt by association, the Chosun Ilbo story claims. "They were executed with machine guns while the key members of the Unhasu Orchestra, Wangjaesan Light Band and Moranbong Band as well as the families of the victims looked on," said a Chinese source. At least in death she is free of all that:
