Is morality an instinct God put in us?

But they don't exist indeping and raping and killing babies is okay then that's okay. And they do believe this. We could uh this is a long long debate. Um, no, absolutely. I mean, my my perspective on this, by the way, on um on morality, I feel that what it is is that Allah has created a fra.

The fra is a kind of morality instinct. It's a morality base. It's something very raw. Um, it's like the the language instinct we have. It's kind of hardwired but it's hardwired in a way that yes we are prone for language as you know Chsky would say L or uh but the but for us so there is this universal grammar there's this universal morality which is very simple as in [snorts] it the components are one we

recognize harm we can recognize hurt and then there's empathy So these two kind of core components what they do is they allow like when we recognize hurt and suffering there's an element of empathy that kind of makes us think oh like because we can empathize with it we don't want to afflict it now we then add the rest the way we build the way we learn a language we add the rest onto it so I feel that uh so That's the fra that there is this core kind of

uh compound but it's built upon in our environment and our age and we kind of and I suppose I will kind of also argue and I suppose people would disagree with this that there is this kind of collective consciousness of the age that does uh [laughter] I do feel in a I believe in a kind of collective consciousness which kind of also adds tweaks our understanding of things but uh that's how I see But yes, so it's I I mean I agree I agree with a lot of what you said.

Um what I well I think at least it's it's plausible. Um but I what I would just say is that I think you can very confidently say that we ground our morality in God because God is the source of our morality and God would not uh you know put in us these instruments for us to be misguided. uh why would we have this intellect and this uh conscious this feeling of moral consciousness if we weren't supposed to follow it?

So uh you can feel rest assured that this idea of moral realism is very much justified in our belief in God. And this idea of uh problematizing it based on this cultural relativism in my mind is the zeitgeist of the age of atheism that now these traditionalists are using which is quite sad actually. This is the most irreligious in order to counter rationalists believers.

They're using the most irreligious kind of arguments from postmodernists and using it to hit rationalist thinkers over the head with. So I think that's quite problematic. So that's that's what I would say on that. But would you feel that the morality uh is god-given as in the whole not I'm not just talking like how I said a base but the actual um so let's say uh do not steal do not um do these things like God has given us that like taught us that are you saying God has taught us or he's just told us or how do we recognize

these things to be wrong I'm saying that these ideals exist in that kind of in this kind of metaphys, you know, they Oh my god. [laughter] I don't even know how you're going. And now it's it's it's all the only other option I have is No, it's it's good right now. It's good.
