I guess we'll find out at the end whose belief system was valid.
In the mean time, I am curious, how do you maintain your moral standards?
What do you base it on?
My moral standards are based on empathy
Empathy is the human ability to share in feelings and emotions, by using our empathy we can know which of our actions hurt our fellow human, which help them and which ones don't affect them negatively or positively.
Adultry hurts our fellow human
Rape hurts our fellow human
Stealing,
Killing,
Attacking (causing physical harm)
Causing emotional harm
Disrespect hurts fellow humans
Mistreating yourself is also immoral, because the list applies to everyone even if the victim and perpetrator are one and the same.
As the circle of nature is animals are going to be good sometimes but as intelligent beings it our job not to cause them suffering.
The list goes on. But there's more to my morality than just not hurting others.
Consent is very important to humans, and even though in many cases animals don't take harm from sexual actions with humans they still can't consent so having sex with them is essentially rape.
Even lies that never affect anyone are immoral, because to lie you are manipulating and one lie leads to the next, and be a lie can not make anything that is good.
I could go on forever telling you how you don't need an old book to be moral but I won't, because it's honestly dumb to think that everyone who doesn't follow your God struggles with lack of moral compass, the human feeling of empathy is much better better equipped as a moral compass than your book.
And yes, I don't consider homosexuality immoral because in terms of empathy based morality it's perfectly harmless.
