Some things are far more vast than one can comprehend. That's the inherent trouble with religious beliefs. God seems too easy an answer for something so complex, yet science will not likely ever explain the whole story. I look at the world around me and think that there must be a creator. All things have a beginning. All things have an end. But when we look at the universe, where did everything ultimately come from? How do we grow from non-life material to complex organisms that experience emotions and love? I cannot believe that all that exists is by mere chance.

But back the matter at hand, we have turned a discussion of what is morale or ethical into one of religion. This does not surprise me. It is the eventual cycle. Ethics implies the application rules of right and wrong. What is it then that defines right from wrong if all sets of religious beliefs are removed?

As such, I propose to you that without a God, there is no such thing as right and wrong. There are only man made laws that pockets of society agree are acceptable to them for the time at hand. The ethics in art, or in anything for that matter, are then nothing more than the norms of the society you live in imposing itself on you. And if your beliefs happen to be different, what innate authority does any person have over you?
