The world's moral compass? : Thu Dec 29, 2011 9:13 pm  

Has someone broken it?

- General breakdown of law and order and respect for other people in the so called secular society.
- In he field of religion: loony Islamic fundamentalists blowing themselves and other up; Christian monks fighting with each other in the Church of the nativity in Bethlehem at Christmas (can you get much lower?), loony Orthodox Jews spitting on little school girls in Israel.

So, where will the new morality come from? Is it inevitable that we are heading for a destructive future?

Are you having one last blast for 2011 or is this the first one for 2012 ?

In light of your last para I am leaving for the cave straight after posting this reply.

Since when did religion have anything to do with morality?

I've got a compass app on my phone. Do you think it will lead me down the wrong path then Dally?

Are loony Islamist fundamentalists any different to loony Christian fundamentalists with bombs?

To which "so called secular society" do you refer?

As for the "Christian" monks ... what do you expect from Christians? Observing the words of Jesus or something?
