Lewis, of course) is that over recorded history and almost the entire earth, there is so little real variation about basic morality. There may be some variation in details, and some societies, especially tribal ones, may treat strangers and enemies as fair game and require strict morality toward one's own tribe. But overall, the picture is amazingly uniform. For example, there has never been a culture that honored lying and deception of one's own people; it takes a certain level of mutual trust to make a society work (yes, honesty is the best policy!). But the overall picture is of striking agreement on basic morality in almost all times and places.postmodern redneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07279009105618761553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746468652435913462.post-34465766190120715892010-12-19T20:36:16.346-05:002010-12-19T20:36:16.346-05:00you are invited to follow my blogyou are invited to follow my blogSteve Finnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041851737677873347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746468652435913462.post-38394745583812280622010-12-17T21:47:15.707-05:002010-12-17T21:47:15.707-05:00The righteousness of men avails nothing nothing ex...The righteousness of men avails nothing nothing except innocence nailed to a tree.Carey Rowlandhttp://www.careyrowland.comnoreply@blogger.com
