Is morality genetic?
There is a truly fascinating article in the New York Times magazine, The Moral Instinct , that deals with the difference between morality and social customs, whether a sense of basic morality is genetic, how one tells whether a given issue is one of morality or custom, and much more. Why can't we hear more of this sort of thing from the pulpit instead?

Instead of what Joel?
For the record. If morality is genetic, all I can say is that most of the U*Us I know have bad genes. My picket sign slogan that says -
"CHURCH" OF THE IMMORAL MAJORITY
protests against the fact that Montreal Unitarians and U*Us more generally have behaved an immoral manner towards me for well over a decade now and have yet to change their immoral ways. . .
