Re: Debate (Actually I'm really scared!) But when I pull myself together I post.OK.
Once maybe clobbering the opposition on the head with a rock may have been necessary for survival...but for over 6000yrs we have had technology that has allowed the "anti-life" humans to have dictate the terms of survival. Weapons don't equal strong genes! What it has ensured is the survival of a certain type of mentality.
(In earlier post some discussed EVIL as reverse of LIVE. So can I suggest that your statement (reworded) below reads:
'evil' may be judged as that which opposes LIFE.
Why did the human choose "morality" as survival route? And this is assuming morality has much to do with our problems.
