Not at all. The phantom was considering whether there was a reason for everyone to behave morally. I do not believe that there is. But I do believe that humans tend towards moral behaviour and, if so, there must be some reason for this.

It's an evolved pattern of behaviour originally directed towards facilitating the survival of the species - see my earlier posts.

I really don't think that it's worth taking up any more space on this thread discussing my views on this. But feel free to PM me if you do want to discuss these issues further. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
