Moral have no meaning and value without consequence. Our culture/society's morals are based on Judeo-Christian ethic, just as your sense of right and wrong is. You are a perfect example of my initial post in this thread. You believe in the right and wrong becuase it is right and wrong relative to what you have taught from Day One. Yet you choose to toss the reason behind the right and wrong out.
There is no universal right and wrong, and never has been; therefore, no set in stone human and humane value systems.
Using what some extremists have done in the name of Christianity while CLEARLY not adhering to Christian values in carrying out their nefarious deeds isn't exactly cricket.
Indeed, you are correct with regard to consequences. But do those consequences bear fruit in this life or some mythical, metaphysical after-life? Unless these consequences come to fruition in this life, in this world, they are of no use.
