Depois de sofrer as agruras, e saborear os remédios, dos tempos modernos (em poucas horas passei de pecador a absolvido sem sequer ter passado pelo confessionário) vou meter uma colher de chá (blasfema?) nesta quadra pascal lembrando uma moralidade sem Deus:
"...like other psychological faculties of the mind, including language and mathematics, we are endowed with a moral faculty that guides our intuitive judgments of right and wrong. These intuitions reflect the outcome of millions of years in which our ancestors have lived as social mammals, and are part of our common inheritance.
Our evolved intuitions do not necessarily give us the right or consistent answers to moral dilemmas. What was good for our ancestors may not be good today. But insights into the changing moral landscape, in which issues like animal rights, abortion, euthanasia, and international aid have come to the fore, have not come from religion, but from careful reflection on humanity and what we consider a life well lived.
In this respect, it is important for us to be aware of the universal set of moral intuitions so that we can reflect on them and, if we choose, act contrary to them. We can do this without blasphemy, because it is our own nature, not God, that is the source of our morality."

Boa Páscoa.
Deus pode não ser a fonte/origem da moralidade, mas é uma orientação para aqueles que acreditam e se pautam pelos seus valores e princípios, digo eu.
O que é uma Boa Páscoa?
Very cool design! Useful information. Go on! » »
