I once believed in a christian god. That there is a purpose to this life. That cops were always there to help. That priests were holy. That the system was just. That everyone had an innate goodness within. That mankind was ever moving forward to a perfect world.
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
We eat, we crap, we fight, we cheat, we oppress, we destroy.

Yet we feel and love and cry and survive, which other way would you want it?

My statement has nothing negative or positive in it. It is merely a statement of fact. We have been and always will be a warring species, prone to lust for power and money. It is not right or wrong; it is what it is. We are what we are.

I politely disagree with you. There are evolutionary reasons why there is a moral compass. There is right and wrong in absolute terms. There are material things and actions that are either beneficial, or detrimental to human life.
But then it seem I have something/somethings helping me that is clearly not human.

Hi, Not sure what is meant by 'evolutionary reasons why there is a moral compass'. Could you give examples?
