    Morals are hardwired into system which is why we feel uncomfortable without clothes.

    Morals do exist and they are useful if you want love and happiness in your life, which everyone does, or did, or should. Those things light one's life up.

    Morals are made by the spirits for the welfare of the human beings. These spirits were created by God. The possession of these spirits make the people to understand and experience the benefits of the moral and teach others too.

    God cannot watch each and every human being at the same moment. That's why He had created the spirits to watch, guide and determine the destiny of the human beings from their daily activities, talks and thoughts too. Your past determines your present and your present determines your future. God has given freewill to all creatures including human beings. According to this, all human beings have all right to live a life as they wish. But if it happens to be bad and hurts someone, they have to face the consequences. These consequences are created by spirits. It's a natural system. After death no one lives in any form. Heaven and hell are only for spirits. A soul is nothing but an energy needed for the functionality of a body. It is not a spirit or anything else. A brain is a media to connect the spirits to a human mind. A human mind is like a mind of a computer. After the destruction of a computer completely, you will not find it. The same is the case with the human beings. Spirits are separate elements. A human being is not a single spirit. A human being during his/her life time is living with many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. They are knowledge, skills, feelings, emotions, interests, memories and everything. Even thoughts are not your own. For example, when you want to take a decision on a subject, one after another the spirits think and you just listen, choose or reject the ideas which they transmit to your mind through your brain in the form of thoughts. A human being is just a robot made of flesh and bones and a toy of the spirits for their games.

    Look at it this way, would you rather live in a moral/just world or a violent world filled with anarchy? Myself I would choose the moral/just/orderly world. To have that there must be a rule of law and deep religious beliefs. Weather or not you believe in organized religion look at the options and I would choose religion over no religion.

    If life has no meaning humans wouldn’t exist. How you ride a bicycle exists if a bicycle exists. How to be a human race (morals) are a consequence of there being humans.

    If life has no meaning and nothing we do matters, morals DON't exist/matter.

    However, if pigs had wings they would fly.

    Life has meaning. Things we do matter. Arguments to the contrary are easily refuted.

  • Morals exist, but if "nothing we do matters", then morals (which is something we do) don't matter.

    They would matter to the person holding them, and the society that they are in.

    Life always has a meaning. In the animal world it's to procreate and spread.

    Listen, If life has no meaning and nothing we do maters, then that is because we are in a very lazy frame of mind where we are too idle to make any effort to change it. Such conditions are not thrust upon us unless we have a mental problem , and some folks do. Stop being lethargic and sorry for yourself.. Portraying yourself as a dilettante victim is never very convincing these days, and only looks rather silly to your acquaintances . Its very un-cool, so don't do it. It looks a bit brainless.
