who was it taught you what was "right" and what was "wrong"? What was good and what was "evil"

My Mother and Father of course. And they were taught by their parents and they by their parents and so on. Until I was older I had no idea of the concept of god or a higher deity apart from what I was told and what my little mind could figure out itself, incorrectly. I suspect everyone is the same. When I was naughty I was not punished by god, I was punished by mt parents. When I was good it was they who gave me rewards, not a man in a frock. And it was they who gave gave me love and shelter, not the church. Nothing whatsoever to do with religion. My concepts of good and bad were formed long before I had any idea of the metaphysical. As, I suspect, were everyones.

Your implication is that anyone who has not had christian teaching does not know the difference between good and evil. What a load of tosh.

Joe - Well said.
