Morality
 

Qoutes from Richard Holloway, and his book Godless Morality:

"Morality tries to base itself on observed consequences, not on beliefs, superstitions or preferences"

"There are many distinctions to observe here, and many calculations or approximations to be judged, but the central stream of the concept of wronging or harming another is reasonably clear"

"Whether we call it the placebo affect or human credulity, the fact remains that beliefs are powerful as long as they are believed"

"Most people learn to live with their glaring moral contradictions"

"Part of Neitzsches great critique of Christianity was that it inculcated a slave morality of obedience to authority and denial of the life force"

Five,
I was surprised to find that Holloway is a Bishop in Scotland and equally surprised when I read a little more about him and his writings on the web.
