Is morality in any way related to legality?
Are they complimentary?
Or, do they have nothing to do with each other?

Your take?

Both ate different but have values of living.

I have some moral values in my living, which i never let it down.
some principal of life which i follow.
The experiencing of life
Legality is laws We need to follow. If not we will be punished.
In which somewhere morality get's affected if we think if ignore it does not..

Morality are our of personal living which we create within us & Legality is to be followed as its made for us by society.

Without letting morality down live happily an follow some necessary laws of legality.

Laws legislate the morality of those that make the laws.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

Laws are there for society. In a way, most laws are social morality. Some are not.

Family law (laws created and regulated within a family) also has much to do with morality but sometimes there is a grey area.

Individual laws, those we make to self-govern ourselves can be influenced by social and family law but have a higher degree of personal morality than social or family laws.

Legality is a social concept associated with socially driven laws. Laws which were usually created/instituted by social morality.

Sometimes social morality overrides family or individual morality. Social morality and law can and does affect families and personal behavior. In those cases, social legality prevents family or personal morality from correcting injustice in the eyes of family or personal morality.

Sometimes social legality has nothing to do with morality. One example like imminent domain is not a morality issue but it is a legal issue.

I'm about to mow down a whole group of gang stalkers set on me by my narsiccistic ex girlfriend thanks to screen recording!

They work hand in hand

Interesting topic Kevin . In my profession there is a lot of conflict between legal and moral based decisions.. I have just finished a run of 12 hr nightshifts so will be back to participate when my brain can give your topic the attention it deserves .

Haven’t seen you in some time and can totally relate to why that is Lovely that you are posting again xox

Dam .. just noticed the date of the thread .. now I am disappointed !!!!!

Morality comes from God

Laws come from man

They are not intertwined as some suggest

God, the bible, religion is all made up by man.

Laws are also made up by man.

So for the most part Morality and legality are the same besides the punishments that may be handed down. That being said is we are "man" so we can change these rules at anytime. There are many changes that have taken time thru history such as treatment of women, and some of the things of the past are always, and will always continue to be challenged. To kill somebody is considered to be Morally and legally wrong, yet we go to war and people become "heros" for killing people. Basically we should have both in order to run a civil society, but the people of that society are the ones whom should be making those rules up, not some guys from 2000 years ago who were just in it to gain control and lived in a much different time.

It doesn't hurt my heart to speed or not pay my taxes...

It would if I were to kill or steal - that comes from God

The answers to your questions are objective correct ones, and can be found in a reputable relevant website. They are not based on a subjective personal point of view.

Looks like we have a bunch of folks here that fit into 2 Timothy 3:7

Thou shalt not kill... Murder is against the law.

Thou shalt not covet... Theft is illegal.

Thou shalt not commit adultery... Adultery was
punishable as a crime for many years, in the U.S..

Man shall not lie with another man...
Homosexuality was punished by imprisonment in
many U.S. states. Still punished by death in
many other countries.

Thou shalt not bear false witness. Lying to a
cop, is charged criminally, as giving false
statement. Lying under oath in court will get
you charged with perjury.

Morality, is very much entwined with legality.

very well said
