Morality isn't controlled or compromised by time or that which speaks it. It just is. Christianity isn't an ideology, it's a mission statement based heavily on guilt and subjection through calls of jew "Abrahamic" morals. Same as islam.
I disagree. Morality evolves with society. I won't argue with you about it being a dogma of guilt though. My father would say that guilt is the spice of life. To say that it's not an ideology is patently false, you must not know what that word means. Like I said though, I am not a Christian. I can see it's merits in today's society, regardless of its roots. Personally I'm glad there's people out there not doing shitty shit because they're afraid of going to hell. I don't believe in hell, but I'm glad some people do.
-Morality doesn't evolve that's politics. Morality remains right and wrong which aren't definitions that change from person to person (or group to group).
-Variety is the spice of life, guilt is simply another tool used to control others.
-Religion is only useful for the weak who can only feel empowered by controlling others.
-People who are only "good" because of fear eventually snap , the do so (in part) because they're told that no matter what they do , a magic entity in the sky is going to forgive them. This is why religious people are the most empty, because they only follow because they use God as some kind of "get out of being a fuckup of a person" card.
People should want to be good because it's good. Not out of fear, hate, or desire for no contract promises. (and I'm not interested in a semantics discussion, good is obvious, if it's something a person needs defined, that's someone whose lost in life and wants someone to save them. Fuck em, but not literally.)
