Sorry Niamh, I thought LT was saying that these ancient cultures had 'worked out' as in 'solved' ie, no more immoral behaviour (crime being immoral, therefore no crime).

What I got from his post was that people were "moral" before religion/God told us we should be

No prob. I've stated myself that Man has an intrinsic Moral Code. I guess the bone of contention is whether it evolved through natural evolution, was built in by an 'Intelligent Designer', or was instilled into Man by God.

I suppose your personal view on this - like pretty much everything - depends on your personal beliefs.
