How many of you believe that morality really do exists? There is a right or wrong.

I don't believe morality can be analyzed by such black and white standards. Some morals, such as adultery and stealing. Some are completely man made. The only "natural" ones I can think of are things that go against forces that held evolution together, such as killing someone. Still, I'm being completely biased. I don't think there's a clear answer, to be honest. At least not from me. So I just picked no.

How is killing against the evolution? It is in the core of evolution. As far for my viewpoint, I voted 'man made', because I believe that it is a product of society, and as such, varies in different cultures. It is basically created to keep the society in one piece, which is not so bad.

I couldn't vote for either of those because its both.  Our present day "morals" are based on corrupted and incompetent sources.  Which lead people to not believe in them at all.

Why would morality be non-existent were it manmade?

Why is morality as invented by any other being or entity more legitimate and real than morality invented by humanity?

I don't understand it at all. I made a topic about this in September.

I haven't read much about it, though.

Morality is what each person makes of it. Wideset morals such as killing people are just the morals that a lot of people believe in, but certainly not everyone.

Morality is based on society's point of view. We as a society decide is moral and what is immoral and a lot of times it is based on the way we were raised.

I've nulled because it's both existent and manmade. It's also personal.

This was a hard question for me to answer. I do believe there is such a thing is morality however I think that the ideas of good and evil are purely perspective.
