As an east coast person who lived here there doesnt seem to be aanything here at least for me

Thats as polite as I can be, Im out of here ASAP pref Florida or Boston

Not much I've done it all more or less.
My only bucket list is to find a friend, an equal, a lover and sail and play golf with that friend. I'll do the cooking if need be. Lets start negotiations. Even the Egyptians seem to be able to do that despite John Kerry:)-

morals come from a believe in two things
first a believe in an after life. If a person treats others with morals and ethics or as they would like to be treated even if they are not sure there is an after life they dont want to take a chance so if they act morally they will stand a better chance of having a good after life. In the feudal period of ancient Egypt there is a tomb of a noble and engraved on the door was the following.
I (name) tried to do right. When the river flooded and the serfs land unproductive I let them plant on my land so they would not starve. When there were times of prosperity I did not ask to be repaid. I didn't despoil the daughter of a serf even though that was my right by law. And so on for quite a long list of the good deeds hand high morality of the noble in hopes he would be remembered well by the gods and just plain people who came along later.

Secondly people who don't believe in an after life act morally and do well be others in hops they will be thought of in a good way and treated the same by friends and a acquaintances.'

The last is a guess since I am not sure there really are any atheists in a fox hole. Certainly there are less of the later than the former.

Laws come from the same place and are only laws because there are some people who are not naturally ethical or mora

Having spent 7 years researching the formation of religious thought this is the conclusion I came to. I may be wrong but this is my opinion
