morality

Listening to the car radio. There is a discussion about morality and religion. Two of the faithful wondering if it is possible to have morality without belief in God. I was thinking that it would be clever to say, considering the historic enormity( look it up ) of the sins of organized religion, that I wonder if it is possible for both morality and belief in God to co-exist. Perhaps that is unkind.

It is such an intolerable burden to be aware of our own mortality that we look for comfort and consolation wherever it is offered, even in impossible beliefs.

But God help anyone who questions them.
