Reply #19: I'm just curious because the papers I've read regarding morality and such codes all become illogical

[jody]

when trying to define or justify or rationalize the morality or immorality of some specific act.

Society has judged Horn by its moral code and approved his action.

You said "I really wish there were a hell" prompting my conclusion you do not believe in hell with a supernatural entity or entities that punish one's soul, if that exists, in the next life.

Obviously your moral code is different from that by which society judged Horn.

Absent belief in punishment in the afterlife, I just wondered how you arrived at your moral code that differs from that of society.

Have a nice day, :hi:
