Reply to comment by Top-Royal6249 in What is morality in the absence of religion? by mambosun_

I would argue that humans vastly agree more than they disagree when it comes to morals. Murder, theft, lies, indecent business practices, insubordination, etc. all very common amongst nations and cultures. The disagreements are in the nuances but get the most attention.

There are HUGE disagreements about human life itself: Abortion, death penalty, assisted suicide, "stand your ground" laws, war, on and on. These aren't small issues.

And even if it were only small issues we disagree on, why would we disagree at all, if God wrote morality into us?

Not small issues, I agree, but different definitions of murder that satisfy a person's benefiting point of view. For arguments sake, the Bible talks about that too. Titus 3, sermon on the mount, etc.
