Talk:Moral Zeitgeist

"Of course Creationists and most Christians do not believe this to be true."

Multiple issues here.

First of all, what does Creationism have to do with this? I don't remember Creationism making any comments about how we got morality, unless we're saying that Creationists oppose evolution in ALL senses, not only the biological one (which I doubt).

Then, the "most Christians" claim is extremely strong, especially when the sentence is very fuzzy about what exactly they believe to be wrong (Only the last sentence? Or the entire paragraph? Or the entire concept in its very foundations?). I would normally remove the sentence (as well as making a few other small edits), but my Controversy Sense is tingling, so I won't stomp around on thin ice and instead seek discussion here for the moment. --Jenkins 14:10, 22 September 2007 (EDT)

• When dealing with the subject matter, it is important to at least mention (in a Christian and Conservative friendly encyclopedia) opposing POV's. This is as much for the benefit of the very young students who CP was founded to service, as it is for the public at large. I acted to prevent the article from being deleted out-of-hand, and will await an editor more expert than I to introduce a short sub-header giving the Christian spin on morality. In other words, I punted. Go ahead, and follow the CP Guidelines. Do not remove the alternate POV, however you are free to edit and re-organize. --şŷŝôρ-₮K^{Ṣρёаќǃ} 15:40, 22 September 2007 (EDT)

Well, I am no specialist myself, but I would remove the bit about Creationism there since I honestly see no connection (note the "would" - I'm not going to dive straight in since I'm not sure how I should reword that sentence).

Let's start at the beginning: What is the Christian/opposing POV in your eyes? I think we should establish that before making broad statements. --Jenkins 15:53, 22 September 2007 (EDT)

I added the POV of a moral realist view of the moral zeitgeist, fixed the references and made some minor improvements on language. Moridin 17:08, 16 May 2008 (EDT)
