Archtypes and moral evidence for the existence of God.

Killing the innocent is not right in any case, I agree. And, while societies may be different in superficial elements, rights and rituals, there is a core of right and wrong that is central to all humanity. Somewhere burried within the hidden archtypes of the human collective, encoded in our DNA and the pathology of ou...r minds, there has been placed...(by God) a natural law of right and wrong. This is a natural law of the human being just as gravity is a natural law in physics. Throughout history and time, archtypical elements arise within each culture that are the same. There are the archtypes of the blessed mother, the heavenly father, the shadow, and possibly thousands more. I mentioned these three because of the topic of discussion comes down to how these archtypes are being played out currently in our exterior world, creating a sense of universal right and wrong in regard to nurturing vs. killing. If we look around we can see that this pattern between the archtypes really affects our world in many ways: in the way we interact with our environment; in the way we have a blood thirst for war; in the way that we find infanticide as appropriate means to personal ends excluding saving the life of a mother. This line of thought is of my mind, and is inspired by the works of C.G. Jung and C.S. Lewis. It would be the marriage of Archtypes and evidence for God in human morality.
