Nice. Sorry I didn't respond right away after you answered my question--I've been away. So, are you in a theology department, or, philosophy, or sociology (of religion), or, something else? "Construction of morality" and "effect on society" sound like sociology to me, which is my background. Sounds very interesting. I essentially think that all reality (including morality) is socially constructed--what is "real" is what social groups determine for themselves to be real and moral. Groups with the most power in any given society determine what "reality" has most resonance (hegemony) for that society. Is that your stance?
