[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 1068451, member: 22662"] Incorrect. Babies coming out of the womb are adorable creatures much like grizzly bears and leopards. Left without moral training and upbringing of some kind, we would truly emerge far bloodier and horrid. I posted a couple pictures of child soldiers on the "guns" thread. They have been trained as killers. For what lofty purpose? What parents or adults would do such a thing? Absent religion or morality, killing is easy. What about the infamous college studies showing how easily that moral bering is broken down? What of normally decent soldiers "breaking down" prisoners at Abu Ghraib? What of our turning a blind eye to torture the world over or "keeping our hands clean" by rendering suspected terrorists to Egypt? No. We would like to believe ourselves moral or saintly, but deep down inside, killing comes easily and morality has to be worked at, practiced, and rediscovered daily. [/QUOTE]
