Buddy's Comment 9: To say that a self- or community-directed code of conduct suffices, ignores history. To say that the code is a 'work in progress' also fails. No civilization, whose morals were based on their own evolved consensus of right and wrong, has survived because of that code. They were either overcome by invading neighboring civilizations, (with a different 'code' that allowed their behavior), or because they became lax in their own code, or they evolved the code out of existence, passing on a devolved code to the next generations. The only exception to this string of failures, is the one nation that acknowledges that 'right' and 'wrong', good and evil, are 'God'-defined, Israel.
My Response to Comment 9:
What about China? They're still here.....
