God and morality

AustinNdyetabula · 2015-03-12T19:30:10+00:00

Having grown up in a strongly catholic family, I have had to, and still do, endure long sermons and lectures about how god creates life, and maintains it by imparting inherent morals and ethical values in books preaching his word. I have also been exposed to people who live life without religion that have an almost indistinguishable moral compass. This begs the question, "To what extent are morals and ethics the consequence of faith in god, and would humans not have moral fibre had god not played a part in our social development?" I frankly believe that morality is inbuilt, and does not need god to catalyse it's furthering. I do not doubt religion's, and god's, comforting and unifying nature, but i doubt it's apparent importance in the overall human being. Would i make a terrible parent if i refused to teach my children about a god i do not believe in? I am not a theist, mono- or otherwise, but i believe, in fear of sounding arrogant, i am a good, kind person. I welcome opposing and supporting intellectual discussion.
