Webster's defines Morality as "conformity to ideals of right human conduct".
The problem we get into is who get to decide what is "right human conduct".
Morality has been argued for millennia by philosophers and laymen alike. I
believe it was Socrates (someone correct me if I'm mistaken) said it best. "The
only tyrant I will accept is the small still voice within."

Buddhism has similar "commandments" --- then

Christians, Muslims and Jews have done their fair share of stoning too.

Depends on who you ask.
>Are those who follow the ten commandments "religiously"
>always "moral" people? (I think not.)
