right and wrong

this is a respond to the article The law of relativity by Raja Petra Kamaruddin

dear Raja Petra,
salam,
a few years back, i did gave this sort of thing a thought. i also wonder wat makes right is right, and wrong is wrong?
dis is the result tht i have agreed upon.
Before that, i would like to say, in response to your article, tht, how could one follow a majority when he himself made up tht majority? u say tht our belief and perception of right and wrong is based on majority view. but its d ppl who made up dis majority view. so, u r saying tht they r following themselves. This makes no sense. Who say it’s right? y? how? Its d ppl. How to win majority's vote(agreement)? a logical, acceptable and the best idea.
and dis is the conclusion of my thought few years back.
right and wrong is decided by the majority of tht place.
how to get the agreement of the majority, when there r a lot of ideas and 'path-shower', i.e the one who came with the idea in d first place on how to solve something or decide on something.
the majority will choose the best way among those which are given to them.
and thts what decide wat is right and wrong.
the best way which were given to the people.
of course, religion plays a part in it. but im talking more generally.
plus, everything has its positive and negative side.
The right or the good one is the one which have more positive values thn the neg and vice-versa.
it is true tht like u said, in diff places, diff things were practiced, it does bring us d question tht wat type of life were practiced by the first human on earth? Wouldn’t at that time really convey the real right and wrong in life? as the first human, his first thought would b d only thought to luk at too thus decide wat is wrong and right on d face of d earth. And could the first human made a wrong decision about the bad way and good way of life on earth? (Ignoring d soul mistake before he were sent down on earth, or any way depends to your religion)
im discussing dis because to question wat is right and wrong, we have to look at how they were form and origin from. Because thts how d idea of right and wrong were put into the minds of d ppl in d first place.
now, wouldn’t the first human religion is the right religion? and his way of life is the righteous one?
but then, afterwards, there were his descendants, going all around the world, practicing diff way of life.
with their own right and wrong. and what influence dis diff right and wrong? thnks to my religion, i can explain dis by saying it comes from other factor, which is d creature from other dimension (Satan if we want to call them). Without my religion i may not b able to explain y those among the first descendant lifestyle differentiate from d one practice by the first human. if the first human were to have a luk at dis situation, would he then, agree with all of them? if he disagree with one way of his ancestor's life. wouldn’t that make his descendant is doin sum thin wrong, even in tht time. and in tht place.
so wat really makes right is right and wrong is wrong? if the first human were to go to France(where im rite now, so if u come here, do msg me), 500years ago, he would, as im sure of if u want to argue witn me, then lets just take it as an example, to disagree with them, even if the majority says diff. would it b bcoz of how he was brought up? First human = no parents.
so wat makes his judgement?
What tells him wat is wrong and right, thus deciding for gud on how human should judge on life.
He, d first human on earth, is special, he gets first hand guidance to life. i have tried to explain this using neutral point of view but when u ask deep and basic question, u have to go to your religion, and for me, it is Islam. y? Because it provides ans. human mind, though deep and brilliant, there r limits, i can’t find an explanation trou other religions, or, a logical one if there is another explanation.
Right and wrong originate from the eye of God.
God tells d first human how he should live. And wat makes diff ppl den living diff way of life in diff places? (in term of gud and bad bcoz i want 2 ignore geological aspect) have to originate from somewhere else, diff factor. This is Satan. y they do tht, also explain in my religion. Those among d first descendant, travel, way across d globe, far from d first human, has become astray. Those who follow d first human, stay in d right path. (this divide right and wrong, and it still is until now)
one can b wrong, no matter where he live, how he was brought up, when he was born if what he does is wrong to the eye of God.
To understand right and wrong, it is to understand how God wants us to live.
And that is the ultimate pursuit in life
