What's a higher form of morals? Modern society or ancient religious texts?

Morality ultimately resides in the individual - it is not to be found in a book of any description. The best place to 'learn morality' is at your mothers knee - if you made it past this stage in your life without learning right from wrong then you have a serious problem. The thing about books like the bible is that they tell you both when it is wrong to kill another person - and when it is right - this is usually when you are told to by someone in authority.In other words it is wrong to kill someone for your own reasons but right to kill on another's behalf.

This is why we must always question the motives of those in authority. Especially now as we are repeatedly being told that soon it will be ok to kill Iranians. If you want to identify the people in this world whom are truly evil: and devoid of any real morality - then look no further than those that are saying these things.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
