Ok-- I'm back from outerspace. Was without the internet for a time during my move--
So clarify for me-- are you comparing a universal good to God? Or are you saying without some higher power there can be no idea of morality?
Fundmentally speaking there is no dichotomy between good and evil, and the two are only defined by those who have the power to label them that. The problem with morality is that it isn't real--it is only circumstantial. Two-hundred years ago it was okay to burn someone you thought was a witch. Now it's frowned upon (damn liberals). A hundred years ago someone named Bokeem wouldn't be allowed in an internet cafe, let alone allowed to speak their mind about it.
So to answer your question-- I don't think morality exists at all-- so thus I am extremely qualified to talk about it.
The End.
