[QUOTE="LightLoveHope, post: 76496879, member: 413618"] "Your position is, by definition, irrational" I 100% agree, morality is completely emotional. Its foundation comes from love of ones parents and a secure childhood without abuse or major shocks. Babies are born totally dependent on their mother, to the extent it is described the baby regards itself as an extension of their mothers identity. It has been shown in 4 year olds they have a distinct awareness of fairness and the need to be fair to everyone. Upon this you can build all the basic precepts of social morality and justice. The more socially disturbed and distorted the events a group go through, the more disturbed the moral expressions are. We live our lives denying our dependency on a social context and its lessons, to avoid vulnerability or being hurt more than we already are. One aspect of this is to found our emotional stability on facts, things that will not suddenly move or be a problem. I know myself I can suffer panic and anxious moments without knowing why, but something in my makeup is not happy with the situation I am in. I use analysis and rationalism to help subdue this, but in the final analysis, I find Jesus is my rescuer and safe place. One major flaw to our morality and social cohesion is psychopaths who have no concern or focus on impact other than their self interest. So they can do things that emotionally we would be stopped from touching, without a flicker. It is why we need rules and clear definitions to identify these individuals and take precautions to limit their affect. I was shocked at how Islam allows such folk to dominate and get away with horrendous behaviour with no comeback, because they take a rational view of law and its implementation without regard to emotion or relationships. The idea that God operates like this is truly heart breaking. King David knew the principles and road to walk, yet still failed with Bathsheba, the one night stand. The principle is seeing the path and the love that sustains it, not getting too overwhelmed by the struggles or battles along the way. Morality in love has its source in the Father and His loving expression in creation. God bless you [/QUOTE]
