Alright. So the subject of morality is one of the key concerns in the debate on humanism. Starting with first episode, the problem with morality: that is the overt emphasis that is placed on it by religions, notably Christianity; is something that I have argued has worked to its detriment. The idea of trying to make people good, better, holy etc. Has become something of an ideological imperative that is justified on spiritual grounds, as it works into the broader equation on Christian or divine reward and punishment. The problem with Christian morality, lies with the point and degree of importance that is attached to it. One that is inordinate in practice. However, the reasons for this are understandable within the frameworks in which these belief systems operate. For example, in Christianity the main purpose of the faith is to save the souls of men; and hence acts as the key imperative underlying the effort to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ to the world. The aim of evangelization is to bring men and women into/back into the moral fold: one that is espoused by the doctrines of the faith. The analogy of the sheep who have strayed from the shepherd is one that often used to explain this. The problem with this view however, are many, despite containing a kernel of truth. Most notable being the somewhat simplistic understanding of the Fallen state of men, and the idea of Redemption, which is viewed the constraints of this limited moral system. Christian morality when asserted dogmatically, invariably goes wrong in practice, despite being well intended. For in application, the idea of Christian morality works to produces the opposite effect-that of driving people away from the Maker. For man, as weak and sinful as he is, is a being that naturally seeks upliftment, however ill-informed the methods and choices. Thus the pathway towards a better world (here or in the hereafter) is not always straightforward, easy or importantly holy. Thus insisting on a morally right or holy pathway, acts as a restraining force on man's being. The reason why religions like Christianity fail to come to terms with the nature of man in the modern world, and hence fail in their appeal likes in context of this reality. Realities which could be understood in relation to the following points:

The Christian idea of 'goodness' is too simplistic Immorality does not always = Disobedience to God God does not want us to be Good.
