Morality: your own code

How long have we listened to the nagging voice in our heads telling us what the 'right' thing to do is? How long have we been told over and over again what the 'right' thing even is? How many people have nagged us again and again by teachers, parents, our religions into incorporating these established 'right and wrongs' into our heads? Think back as far back as you can remember. You can't remember can you? Thats because as far back as civilization came to exist, roughly ten thousand years ago, mankind has been manipulated time over time again and again by religion and it's universal moral code that 'applies to everyone living a civilized lifestyle'. 

Gods have always existed to man. We've always imagined we live under a god even if it's an animistic view point. About the same time of the agricultural revolution in the fertile crescent, the birth of what we call 'civilization', the gods we have always supposed existed around us were starting to appear in written text. These many texts, roughly similar to each-other, contain written law or virtues that must be followed by all those who worship the certain gods or god implied in the writing. This disregards any individual morality one might have thus replacing them with these universal ones created in order to keep order. The manipulation begins. Universal 'truths' are born and people begin to split things into two groups: good and evil. The claim by these universal truths is that there is only one standard of living and it is the only way to honor your god and be a responsible citizen.  

The idea that there are universal moral laws is mere superstition: it is a claim that things exist one way and cannot be questioned or tampered with. The fact to the matter is, our spirituality is being manipulated by those that want to control you to their standard of living. Everyone is different. There can never be universal morals designated for mankind as a whole. 

There is no universal moral code that should dictate human behavior. there is no such thing as good or evil, there is no universal standard of right and wrong. Our values and morals come from us and belong to us, whether we like it or not; so we should claim them proudly for ourselves, as our own creations, rather than seeking some external justification for them.
