Outpour,
I agree morals are subjective.
Further,
A moral is just a socially accepted response to a situation. It has nothing to do with religion. Social groups want everyone to behave certain ways. They come up with things like: "stealing is wrong". They do this because it’s in everyone’s best interest that nothing of theirs will be stolen. Morality was around long before religion. Of course religion adopts many of the morals within a society and adds it’s on as well. The Ten Commandments for example are the most basic form of social contract. I can guarantee you that murder, theft and infidelity were socially unacceptable long before the Old Testament was written all the Hebrews did was add further social rules about the worship of God. The Koran came to be in a different culture and thus we see discrepancies in the morals it promotes compared to the Bible.
