I remember you and I having a long discussion on the difference between ethics and morality.
As I recall we agreed that ethics are what society calls "right".
Morality is what God implanted in our souls at the time of the soul's creation which is conception.
There is a universal morality imbedded in all souls and thus all cultures e.g. sacrificing children to a pagan god is wrong. We all know that killing children is wrong.

I don't recall agreeing to that.

It's a pity he didn't think about future constipation problems and implanted enemas as well.

You've lost me there Sparky. Do you infer that sacrificing children to a Christian god is right? There are millions of examples of that throughout history with all nationalities going to war under banners like : "Gott mitt uns" and "Dieu et mon droit".

"We all know that killing children is wrong." That's a given but don't bring anti-abortion arguments into it particularly those coming from a regressive Catholic Church that forbids contraception and condones young women and those who financially, intellectually or for other reasons should not become pregnant to be forced into bringing unwanted children into the world.

Obviously I'm with TC.


Though we are booked into Hell together.

I 'bags' the room with the en-suite.

Hey, it's Hell. We might be in the same double bed! 😦

Goodnight darling.

Well, that’s weird.
Maybe you should put your little sailor suit on and go down to the wharves.
