Do they define morality?
Yes they do. Morality is not an objective thing. It CAN be an objective thing. But it seems reasonable that its purpose dictates what it is, and its purpose, according to Freud, is to control society in a way that protects us.
Objective Morality, on the other hand, is not the laws of the land. It is simply what is TRUELY right and wrong. But I don't claim to know these. In fact, I don't know if they exist.
And I don't see how that arguments makes it any more hypocritical.
Do as I say, not as I do is only applicably hypocritical if what you do invloves non-guilt.
If everyman sins, can a man who knows his sin is wrong not say to you: "Do not sin!" without being a hypocrit? if not, no man has the right judge ANY man for ANY thing. THink of the world if that were the case?
