I really need to update this thing so I can use the speech to text button, or I could go into the room and get my phone

Yote, NONE of us really knows for sure. All we do is pick what we want to believe (or not believe)(which for the most part is based upon our upbringing). Even folks who say there is NO God, still (well at least most of them) believe in good and evil just like you do.
I have had conversations with believers that cannot understand how someone can be moral if they do not believe.

I don't know the answer

I struggle with not "Hating" someone just because they are this or that, or believe this way or that way, or that they are a member of that or not a member. But it is hard to separate the person from "The act", at least for me.

Being a believer, I don't find your statement difficult at all. As you said earlier, for what ever reason, MOST people in the world DO believe in a universal right or wrong. It will just differ somewhat by our "Teaching or upbringing".

guys I just noticed the time I have to be up in 2 1/2 hours.
I need to go to bed.
Both of you have a great day, and thanks for the conversation

Peace and rest to you Bill. Hopefully your sleep won't just make you even more tired. Take care in the snow and hopefully it won't get to bad. Take care of yourself and your family.

And of course it was enjoyable having such a stimulating conversation.

This is one of the things that defines us as being human.
One of the things that defines us as being "good" is to recognize our own faults and try to overcome them.

I will never be perfect, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't try to improve daily

Good morning, gents! Sounds like some deep social discussions are in progress...

My naive, selfish response to some of what I've read is: I can't control it as one person, but I can affect it. So, I help who I feel comfortable helping, and I buy good weapons and ammo to protect my family (and knives) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

The chief cause of unhappiness and failure is trading what you want most in life for what you want at the moment.
