Very detailed deliberations on human morality! Appreciate!

But question is, can we, mankind judge on our morality without attempting to understand why we are here, the logic of Existence?

Who are we? What are we expected of life? We approach these questions with our base premise ( the universal premise) that of science. We all know what is the base premise of Science. But isn't it time for at least philosophers to review such old stands?

Love to share a fresh view on morality, touching the question of WHY: http://newphilosophyoflife.blogspot.com ... 4.html?m=1

Gerald Jones discusses how we judge the past, how we will one day be judged, and what we can do about it.

Take the historically easy case of the Lindow Man. At some point in the First Century AD, on a remote moor in Cheshire, England, a young man of high birth was ritually killed, or rather, overkilled: his throat cut, he was axed in the head and garrotted, and his naked body thrown into a bog.

But who can say that Lindow Man was not a serial murderer and rapist?

Too often so called 'moral judgements' of people in far away places, times and cultures are based more on ignorance than anything else.
