We Ask the Sacred Moral Question - What is Good? |
The Sacred Moral Question is, "Is this a Good Thing?" What does "good" mean? That too is involved in the Sacred Moral Question. Right and Wrong and morality and ethics are all relative to your basic assumptions and goals. We base our morality on reality and it is our duty to make sure that reality is taken into consideration when questions of right and wrong are decided. The commitment to Reality is a commitment to truth, honesty, wisdom, and responsibility. The Church of Reality is committed to getting the moral questions right.
We are committed to the Principle of Positive Evolution and the Sacred Direction - as well as the other Sacred Principles - as our foundation for determining right and wrong. Our moral compass is based on the assumption that we want to explore reality, that we choose evolution over extinction, that we accept responsibility for our actions, that we are a society, that we are human, and what is good for humanity is important. In contrast, other religions base their morality on holy books that describe the will of fictional deities. Many of the fictional deities are far too insane for Realists to follow.
Our world view is that right and wrong are important concepts that deserve to be carefully considered in realistic terms. Often reality is ignored and no one asks if the decisions that are being made are a good thing. Our world view is that when reality is ignored and no one asks if the decision is good, we end up with bad results. As Realists, we are dedicated to asking the Sacred Moral Question in order to make better choices so we can move in the Sacred Direction. Our world view is that reality is good for everyone, even if they choose to believe something else. |
