Morals are what define Man as human, a conscience not found in a nonhuman. An innate compass of morals guides us, so we don't throw our friends under the bus. Those with muted morals silence their souls, citing justification through loopholes. Morals distinguish animals from Man, along with free will; it's part of God's plan.

I'm always excited when you win, my friend. Congrats. I'm not aware of who used religion in unpleasant ways. I know people can disagree with others' viewpoints. I agree one can speak one's beliefs, but leave the door open for, disagreements. Stay well.

Congratulations on your winning placement, Emile. There is such wisdom in your line "muted morals silence their souls." Definitely a watchword for life! That is a line I am going to ponder for a long time. All the best to you my friend.

In my opinion, no one should “hide” behind religion to treat others in a disrespectful manner.
