Moral issues! Ha!

I think, for one, we're confusing 'moral' with 'religious'. It's perfectly possible to be both, or neither. It's also possible to have morals without being religious, and, as evidenced by Bush, to be religious and immoral- or amoral, rather.

Secondly, there is no code of morality that is universally acceptable. Also, the moral position of any given society will shift over time.

Thirdly, it seems we are incapable of conducting a civilised debate on the subject without descending into petulant 'it's just WRONG!' footstamping. (I mean 'we' as in society as whole).

Peace,
