  1. +waldoman7: "prove why harming and bloodshed are bad. Particularly in the case where they benefit me, such as my tribe raiding your tribe, killing all of you, taking your food, and taking your women as slaves." ==Yes, that is true. If you genocide your enemies, you are scott free and this is something that has happened on multiple occasions throughout history. It is human nature to dislike those who are different (different customs, different religion, different language). "prove why harming and bloodshed are bad." ==Most people don't want to chop other people to bits and pieces for emotional reasons. It is unpleasant for them. They don't want to be chopped up either. So people in a tribe make rules not to do certain things. At times, different tribe leaders meet and make deals not to attack each other. For example, one leader give his daughter to the boy of the other tribe. They become "family" and more likely to care about each other.

  2. +Fenton Hardy: "The Golden Rule came from Judeo-Christian Values. Therefore the starting comment is untrue, it comes from Christians." ==There is no golden rule in judaism. They would go around attacking and raping and taking slaves. The only golden rule they had, like every other culture, was to treat the people in their own group with respect. However, all cultures have developed some basic rules to live by. An example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_of_Hammurabi

  3. +4Sephiroth:"Furthermore people are dependent on one another which makes murder a bad thing to do since it harms many and leads to more bloodshed." ==It cause more bloodshed? I could ask, "Why don't people want bloodshed?". The answer has to do with emotions. We are survivalists and out emotions tell us what is desirable and what is not. Getting beating to death or eaten alive causes pain and pain is undesirable.

  4. How come the comment section and ratings are enabled? Usually, I see that religious channels disable them since they don't want a conversation. Our morality is relativistic in some sense but it is also universal because it is based on emotions. Most of us don't want to be murdered, don't want to be beaten to death, because our emotions say no, it is unpleasant. This is universal in all of the animal kingdom. It is a product of survival (it is a product of biological evolution).
