Off Topic » in reply to My problem with religion being the basis for ethics

History shows religion is the world's worst source of "ethics".

Christianity - supported slavery, rejects women's sufferage, encourages repression of homosexuals, oyster eaters, and so on.

Judaism - still the Old Testament. Better, more reasoned than Christianity, however, which likes it's Old Testament straight and hasn't found need for the New.

Islam - cruelties beyond belief. As are the other Eastern religions.

Nope. Lousy place to try to find ethical standards.
