While we're on this subject and since this list has a lot of 
philosophers who read it, where does morality come from?  I have morals, 
but they don't come from my religion.  In fact, some god telling me to 
do something I know is wrong doesn't change anything, except that I now 
have to choose whether to do it or face the consequences.  So where do 
we derive our morals from?  Our family?  Our genes?  Society?
