Both very intelligent questions, and it’s good to see so many positive responses.

Personally my opinion of these matters are,

Morals are created by society and culture. They change to fit the needs and aspirations of mankind in any particular environment, but more importantly, they are a valuable measure of how healthy our culture is. The belief that certain actions and behaviours are wrong can only work when a society is capable of providing for it’s members without resorting to ‘evil acts’. When a society is in deep trouble, morality suffers (The greatest acts of offence to our morality are almost always commited in an environment of social and economic turmoil, or deprivation,. think ‘Genocide’ and ‘torture’) The rise of civilization gave birth to morality, and as mankind continues to grow and develop, so will our understanding of what is right and wrong. There will always be those who are capable of evil, but these people are either mentally unstable, or psychologically damaged. Morality is a neccersary and (for the most part) beneficial facet of the human development.

Life after death is a more perplexing issue altogether. I believe that some form of existence must continue after death, in some form or another. Even if this amounts to nothing more than a trace of our energy waves reverberating out into the cosmos (anyone who doubts that this really happens should read up on their particle physics) The fact is there are more things going on in the great universal show than we can comprehend. Nobody can say for certain if there is a conscious form of existence after our ‘death’. Very nice to speculate ‘tho. If anyone is interested in the scientific argument in support of ‘supernatural’ ideas. The I can highly recommend the works of Lyall Watson. In particular, “Supernature” and “Gifts of Unknown Things” easy reads, and guaranteed to put a little ‘wonder’ into your life.

Both of these matters are extremely relevant to what we call ‘horror’ so it’s good to discuss them.
