No "I" is required to know how to be moral.

The thing is animals don't have morals ! Back in the past before humanity was formed we were just Gods creatures and did not have morals . Although the people back then had survival instinct , protected their own family , they wouldn't think twice about a bit of cannibalism to fill their bellies . Later in time humanity started to develop , more and more groups of formed humans diverting away from eating each other . In some areas cannibalism existed for a long time because the areas lacked food and vital resources for survival .
However , most countries today have formed some sort of morals although these morals are not necessary Gods morals . These morals are called religion in a sense . Religion developed from ideology , people using the words they had learnt to try and defy God . The fact is that all of humanity only ever needed one religious word adding to humanity , this word of cause being God . It astonishes me that so many religions are all pointing towards the same thing but all religions try to describe God differently .
I mentioned a Cat and a Katze earlier in this thread . This type of human variance is why God is explained in different ways , because the formation of humanity in the respected country is a variate .
We all can see the cat , we'd all draw it the same so it is quite foolish of humanity to try and describe the cat differently .
Yes this forum is where sets of words , calling themselves humans , discuss words . War is sets of words arguing with other words .
I didn't read anything past this false statement.
Altruism (moral basis) is present in animals. And not relegated to humans only. Therefore animals have a moral system, just not identical to ours.
Altruism (biology) - Wikipedia
Such as:
Mongooses support elderly, sick, or injured animals.
Bonobos have been observed aiding injured or disabled bonobos.
Dolphins support sick or injured members of their pod, swimming under them for hours at a time and pushing them to the surface so they can breathe.

Tell that to a Buffalo while the lion is eating it . You are mistaking morals for survival instinct .I didn't read anything past this false statement.

Survival instinct .
Mongooses don't have a formed humanity and don't understand morals , therefore have no morals . Yes I have seen animals save other animals before , that is more a survival instinct than morals .
Morals are a human thing , a set of defining rules that are the difference between good and bad .
For example some countries morals are to execute a prisoner where other countries would just put them in jail .
Some countries morals are so strict , they fight over them with other countries because they think they are morally correct .

To endanger oneself, to help another is a morally made behavior.
No, morals are not a human thing. They exist in all animals across all species.
We may not share the same morals, but we all have them.
Yes, but laws do not equal morals. For example both jail and the death penalty are immoral to me personally.
You're confusing morality, with laws and rules and intolerance now. There is a difference.

I fail to see evidence of that in 70 plus posts...
Humans are a species on earth, that is all, given the taxonomic identification of homo sapiens.
A species is constructed of biological material , humans are constructed from energy that occupy a species of animal . Humans are not a species .
That would be a parasite. Do you feel like a parasite yourself?
Parasites are an organism , the formation of humanity is energy based (light) .
I see. Science means very little to you, doesn't it? Or have you even heard of it?
To put oneself in danger to help another, is not an instinct.
If you think so. Then I'm done with you silly game.
You're obviously trolling.
