I didn’t think about it at the time I started this debate but there is an implication here that
religion is a manmade construct and therefore god is a human conceit. But if you think about it even
a religious person would have to think that every other religion, save their own, must have a human
origin. Anyway I think humans developed morality as a refinement of our natural social instincts. As
this morality became more detailed it would require an explanation when it was taught. That’s
where religion came in. When people ask me what reason a non religious person has to be moral this
is my answer. |

Hard question here.
Morality, defined as "the good", came first. God was first. God is good. So, God is moral. God
and his moral nature came before man and therefore before religion. |

Most certainly, the human condition came before religion. |

I think that's true. Morality came before religion. Universals. |

Ravens are unique I believe even within the Corvid family in that they have been known to share food
when it is most scarce in the subarctic winters, but to be more competitive at other times when
there is plenty to go around. I don't know what religion ravens are, but many Native Alaskan tribes
see the raven as their almighty creator. |

The power of morals, drove the force that completed the first pionior religon. |

Though religion takes a large interest in moral behaviour, I would agree that it did not invent the
concept of morality itself. |

I am taking the devil's advocate side here;-)
this round of debate:
Here is the theory to shove my point home on this topic:
" THE THEORY OF THE OBJECT AND THE SHADOW" :
1. There is an object,
2. There is a shadow follows object,
3. Shadow could not exist without object,
4. Shadow is not the object,
5. Shadow proves objects existence,
6. Object does not need shadow in order to exist,
7. Shadow's entire form comes from Object 100% inarguable.
There is a God,
We are His proof of workmanship,
Religion is the practice,
Science proves Religion is Real, religion exists without need of Science, but Science cannot exist
without religion.
