THE PROBLEM WITH RIGHT AND WRONG

in philosophy •  8 years ago 

Well, let's take a look at where right and wrong originated from: religion. Religion used to be what dictated whether each action or concept was right or wrong. Lying, wrong. Sharing, right. Over time, as the Church's influence became weak and it's corruption increased, laws took the role of religion. Laws tell us that stealing is wrong, killing is wrong, etc.

Morality and laws are definitely not the same. We have MANY immoral laws.

I think you meant to reply to the other guy...

probably.

Not sure where it originated from but religion enjoys using it. It's a good framework for leverage.
