    Morality. What a concept.
    This is guarenteed to be a difficult topic.

    Behaviors - summery

    Institutions - summery
    Institutions are created for a purpose. That purose should be
kept in a charter of some kind, because the tendency of all
institutions is for their purpose to become their self
perpetuation. That is natural and it is fine, but it is even a
bit more important that they never forget their purpose.
    The functions of the occupational (caste) and industrial
parts of the society must be understood. Their importance to the
society must be also understood.
    The importance and function of the family must not be forgotten.
    Contracts are important by how they aid cooperation.

    Morality -
    The primary occupation of any society must be child raising.
    Morality refers to the individual, family and community.
    The individual must develop their potentials and understand
their place in the world.
    The family must raise children oand provide the physical and
emotional needs of the family.
    The moral system must foster behaviors such as cooperation
that promote the society as a whole. This rests on the assumption
that the society benifits the individual significantly. That
assumption seems accurate. So what morality would do this best?
Careful consideration suggests that the Christian teachings that
promote helping others and avoiding retaliation are exceptionally
good for this purpose. No other major morality promotes
cooperation and its benifits as well.

    Some moralities to be examined:
       Ancient Religions - Animism, Paganism, Isis
       Eastern Religions -  Buddism, Shintoism, Confuscism, Zen
       Middle Eastern Religions - Judiasm, Islam
       Others - Mithra, Warrior Religions
       Modern Religions - Christianity
       Modern Thought - Ayn Rand, Socialism, Communism, Democracy


    While I was raised in a family with some strong Christian
background, our direction towards scientific beliefs was just as
strong or stronger. With the seeming obvious irrationality of the
religion, as we were taught it, we were all far more inclined to
accept science if there was any conflict between the two. That is
not to say that there are no other alternative moralities to
look at. Ayn Rand wrote a brilliant description of morality based
on selfishness. This was in responce to the various descriptions
and practices of socialisms and communism.
