Morality and the preachers

Morality is a pragmatic code of human conduct, devised from human experience,  that allows us all to get on together with as little strife as possible. There are no rules except those agreed to from time to time for our safety and happiness.  Do unto others as you would they would do unto you may have been put into the mouth of Jesus, but it is simply a piece of common sense.  Self-interest and self-preservation ensure that, with exceptions, we all (most of the time) act morally and reasonably. Thus, one can be a moral person without being religious or subscribing to any one of the dozens of Christian, Moslem or other interpretations.  We must rescue morality from the exclusive clutches of priests and pastors, muftis, mullahs and preachers.
