Organized religion seems to attempt to put the concept of morality on an objective scale, removed from circumstances and intentions, and to show it as an area that is only black and white. However, different religions across the globe differ on their view as to what can be considered truly "moral." Many eastern faiths (as well as native american) are pantheistic, that is, they are of the belief that god lies within every living thing, and that killing a creature of any kind (without need) is wrong. Other faiths are based on ritualistic sacrifices. Islamic extremists view suicide bombings as the epitome of self-righteousness, while others who practice the Muslim faith view these acts as morally reprehensible.
I think that morality is a somewhat cheap and shortsighted concept and is at best, culturally relative. I feel that a more rational and sensible distinction, and one more easily examined objectively, is whether or not certain actions are "pro-social."
What are your thoughts and opinions on this? Do you believe that certain actions are inherently right or wrong? Is there an objective value instilled in every action?
