The traditional morality of the West denies that we are animal in our nature, and is based upon a spiritual conception of mankind as indiviually created by God. Yet, as much as we think of morality as coming from God, it, God, is not the cause, but is the effect; because true morality results in what we consider blessings: health, longevity, peace, virtue, and happiness. Those blessings resulting from the moral behavior of mankind have created a nearly universal conception of a benificent God.
I would like to direct your attention to some of the most sexually immoral people on the planet: The Victorian ruling class of England who showed little regard as to where they put it and who they woke up with whether they were married or not to the one they bedded with. And if memory serves me, one of them said: What does it matter what people do, as long as they don't do it in the street and frighten the horses. Apparently, frightening the horses was the worst they expected by way of consequences, meaning they did not accept the religious morality they supported for all others. And you know, the fact was not lost on those who served them tea. I have in the book, which is on Churchill, if you would like an exact. Best. What do you think
