For several weeks I thought on this subject and had some good, thought provoking questions. When I arrived at the boat Manchester was there. After our usual greeting, I hit him with my first question.

Among many non-believers there is a feeling that morality does not come from our Heavenly Father, that it comes naturaly. Manchester, is this true and what is your opinion?

"It is true. You and all living creatures in order to survive and propagate your planet need a set of basic rules. These rules are more instinctive thought out and designed rules. Such as self defense, sex, territorial, protective of partner, offspring and clan or group.

"Without these behaviors you would not survive, you would be extinct. " he answered.

"As human beings, however, you go way beyond the basic animal instincts. A few of you prefer to live with only the basic instincts and feel no responsibility toward other people or creatures of your planet. As your have developed, you have learned that these people are dangerous and to be avoided or delt with.

"Because you were created with a superior brain and intelligence your Heavenly Father knew he had to expand your basic instincts and give you a moral code, which began many years ago begining with Adam and Eve and extending to the present with Christ.

"Many other cultures have their own moral codes mostly formed from their relgious leaders, not from faithless imagings.

"I will continue with this next time..."

He vanished!
