SirRiff Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 In the past 40 years, Canada has become completely atheist ,meaning Canada no longer has a moral compass sigh...ok....if you are going to start posts accusing nations adn thus thier peoples, which includes me, of being immoral, you should know what the word means. Merriam-Webster's Dictionary Main Entry: 1mor·al Pronunciation: 'mor-&l, 'mär- Function: adjective Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French, from Latin moralis, from mor-, mos custom Date: 14th century 1 a : of or relating to principles of right and wrong in behavior : ETHICAL <moral judgments> b : expressing or teaching a conception of right behavior <a moral poem> c : conforming to a standard of right behavior d : sanctioned by or operative on one's conscience or ethical judgment <a moral obligation> e : capable of right and wrong action <a moral agent> 2 : probable though not proved : VIRTUAL <a moral certainty> 3 : having the effects of such on the mind, confidence, or will <a moral victory> <moral support> OR Cambridge International Corpus moral [show phonetics] adjective 1 relating to the standards of good or bad behaviour, fairness, honesty, etc. which each person believes in, rather than to laws: It's her moral obligation to tell the police what she knows. It is not part of a novelist's job to make a moral judgment. She was the only politician to condemn the proposed law on moral grounds (= for moral reasons). The Democrats are attempting to capture the moral high ground (= are trying to appear more honest and good than the other political parties). Compare amoral; immoral. 2 behaving in ways considered by most people to be correct and honest: She's a very moral woman. Oh, stop being so moral! Is TV responsible for weakening people's moral fibre (= ability to behave well and honestly and work hard)? so for the uninformed, morality has nothing to do with religion. it is simply an accepted code of conduct that existed before religion, perhaps was absorbed or redefined during the creation of religion, but it not restricted nor bound to religion and continued to evolve. do you really think egyptions didnt have a sense of morality? or that cave men didnt have a primative family group dynamic that government their interactions? seriously lets raise the bar here a bit whe it comes to indicting the entire nation of being immoral when the word is incorrectly tied to religion. once again...morality existed before religion... morality existed with or was redefined by religion... morality continues to exist and devlop after the age of dominant relgion morality would exist without religion as by product of an advanced society in addition, i found much of this article at http://christianactionforisrael.org, which means its unsourced and i took it as your own words at first. it would be proper to cite it. the site looks pretty wacky though, considering these christians support israel because they think all the jews will be killed or forced to convert eventually. just a bunch of fanatics who would be locked up if they said this about any other group of people in real life.

Moderate Centrist Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Hello Alliance, I may be a little dense but I'm not sure I follow your post? Since you speak on the Nazis perhaps you mean National Socialism? Please elaborate - what's the point? What does this have to do with Canadian politics and perhaps if you're discussing the issue of Islamic - Christian/Jewish conflict this belongs under Religion or International politics. Personally I don't feel endorsement or condemnation of religion by government is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
