Mr. Lucky, I’m enjoying your comments.
I think you’d appreciate reading the work of atheist, self-described liberal academic and moral psychology researcher, Jon Haidt. He’s done some very fundamental and very revealing work in understanding the relationship between ideology and morality. Neither is he contemptuous of religion as a function of his atheism, nor is he very tolerant of the left’s general lack of moral diversity. An odd duck to say the least, but a fascinating one who may very well have provided a sort of ‘Rosetta Stone’ that explains the left’s fascination with socially suicidal ideology.
IMHO, moral relativism makes for interesting philosophical discussions and absolute morality is, simply, what works to make for sustainable societies – made up as they are of flawed human beings with innate, Darwinian proclivities for self-preservation selected over millions of years.
I think it’s interesting how the left wields Darwin when they want to attack religion as a moral basis for, well, anything, yet they completely disregard Darwin’s observations when it comes to understanding human nature and human development. Must be related to doublethink.
