I would have to disagree with you regarding there being no universal morality. It exists, because we have thought it into existence.

We, at this primitive time in our species timeline, are the authority that declares what acts moral and immoral. And each determination, is either empathic due to an enlightened person, indifferent due to an apathetic person, or corrupted due to a fearful and angry person.

This is a cleanly defined Universal Human Rights declaration. It was built to embrace all people.

This is why I personally do not align completely to any faith, because most are blatantly guilty of commanding religious followers to commit barbaric, incomprehensible violence or subjugation....all in the name of an intangible omnipotent deity. It is clearly obvious that many religious text have been gently altered to support the aspirations of corrupt churches or spiritual leaders....and it is also clear that the so-called apostles and some prophets were very vulnerable and susceptible to allowing their personal bias, fear, anger, or ...humanity....corrupt the instructions and records they were charged to detail accurately.


I am coming back to your claim about there being no Universal Morality. As long as Humanity as a species has frontal lobes, inhibitions, far-future planning, the ability to comprehend consequence, but mostly the gift to experience empathy and compassion, as well as sympathy and sadness......we are burdened with the unique knowledge that what we do, has consequences, and thus we are burdened with the decision to either ignore our gifts and revert to primal violence and territoriality......or do we retain what makes us inherently unique in this World, and not allow our fear to control and drive us, so we can actively respect all other life, even the Biosphere? Our ability to understand and define true morality is what makes us Human and not animal. However Empathy and Compassion.....is a skill, sense, and cognitive ability that is fast dying out of our species.

All of the above are perspectives that I actively include in my definition of enlightenment, which is a concept built from many moral teachings in each religion. I mostly relate to Buddhism and Universalism, as well as the Gospel of Thomas, The Tenements of true Empathy, the UN charter to the Universal Human Rights Declaration.....and some other esoteric musings.

True morality, is never argued with, or disputed, or redefined....because it is completely true. To reject the concept of morality as a failed and artificial construct of only humans, is to deny the Human Condition. It also disrespects and dismisses the emotional and physical agony some other species feel.......
