I DON'T want to go to lunch with my boss and 2 other people in my office. We're going to El Cholo's and I just don't want to go.
Blah.
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Is it ridiculous that I want to get Em and I matching pink Converse?
I read this as Corvettes. I thought it was a great idea.

Now tagless for your comfort.
A friend of mine was on Komodo Island a few years ago on a photo shoot with a famous female photographer (who's a bit of a loon). The islanders wanted to attract a dragon for them to see so they needed some bait. The photographer eagerly offered up some of her used feminine hygiene products as bait. She called it her "contribution to the hunt." Um...eeeewwww.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Probe a Jewish person's thought process / Go far enough back in a Wiccan's thought process, / In an atheist's reasoning for his moral judgment,
Having been each of these at more than one point in my life, I can say with absolute certainty that my core moral values have never stemmed from my religious beliefs, ever. My core moral values are it, they're as deep as it goes. There's nothing more to probe, period, the end.
I don't know why you don't believe me and I honestly don't care. But the statements you are making about what you appear to think are universal aspects of human nature are demonstrably not as universal as you think.
You even say it yourself, here:
Different reasons and different rationalizations (and even different moral positions themselves) appeal to different people for any number of reasons.
Those reasons (and I think rationalizations is a far more accurate word) may include religion, may include the big "why are we here" questions, or they may not. In my case, they do not, and never have.
