Re: Religion teaches morality
Today some people argue that there are thousands of people who act morally and ethically and that is not part religious practices.** I believe that religion taught humankind morality **so they act morally and ethically even today. Today you may claim that people act morally and ethically without being religious but all this is because religion has/had been teaching human being morality for years.
Before you claim that morality was/is possible without religion, answer the following statement.You pass by a small child drowning in a shallow pond and you are the only one around. If you pick up the child, she will survive and your pants will be ruined .
If you choose to save that child, justify why?
p.s. Answer to the point.
You don’t have to be a believer in religion, Ghost, to have the heart to acknowledge that it does teach people good things. And that’s the simple question being asked here; whether or not religion teaches morality. You weren’t born with all the ethics in the world.. your parents, your teachers, your society taught you a lot and religion is simply another source for learning.
Religion teaches people good things. But that is NOT the simple question bring asked here. It is bring stated that morality is not possible without religion.
