RE: Could you explain your moral philosophy?
I try to behave towards others, in the way that I would like them to behave towards me.
It is not important that mostly they don't...that is their problem.
I like to have a clear conscience.

RE: Could you explain your moral philosophy?
With regard to dating I know I practice what I preach
1. Date the woman within, do not care what she looks like, carefully assess who she is
2. Wait until marriage
3. Do not date non-Christians
4. Do not date current co-workers
5. Any ethnicity acceptable
6. No upper age limit, but older women set their age limits above my age

My aspie boyfriend Erich says something you may consider similar -- he has absolutely no belief in divinity and supernatural god stuff, but his values are very Christian -- the things Jesus said, not what a bunch of corrupt churches and loony self-appointed apostles distorted it to mean.

GuessWho, have you ever seen that cartoon of a skeleton sitting on a park bench, covered with cobwebs and holding a bunch of long-dead flowers. It's titled "Looking for miss right".
Why not be a bit daring and take a good look at your female co-workers instead of acting as if they are invisible?

RE: Could you explain your moral philosophy?
My moral philosophy can be summed up with:
"Try to minimize the total amount of suffering and misery in the world while at the same time respect personhood and autonomy of others."
The latter part is important because, though I tend toward utilitarianism in general, a purely utilitarian ethic, such as Peter Singer's, would be very dangerous in the hands of folks like the "Autism Speaks" people. I don't believe in "inherent" rights (IMO all rights are legal constructs of societies), but legal rights are necessary to prevent the totalitarian, eugenicist tendencies of pure utilitarianism.
Those afraid of the universe as it really is, those who pretend to nonexistent knowledge and envision a Cosmos centered on human beings will prefer the fleeting comforts of superstition. They avoid rather than confront the world. But those with the courage to explore the weave and structure of the Cosmos, even where it differs profoundly from their wishes and prejudices, will penetrate its deepest mysteries.
--Carl Sagan

Any moral philosophy that can be explained isn't adequate. Or something like that.

RE: Could you explain your moral philosophy?
I like the idea of trying to be mindful of my actions and how they could negatively impact others. I don't want to be the kind of person who does every good deed with some sort of agenda.
What I find irritating about people................those that are stingy skin flints,giving with strings attached. People who think small talk is worth my time, people who think I should be okay with social lies. Deception etc. And of course any fundamentalist religion gets on my last nerve.

RE: Could you explain your moral philosophy?
I think the most defining thing about my moral philosophy is the belief that the stronger have the duty to protect, help and defend the weaker, and the most despicable thing in this world is a bully or an abuser, someone who takes advantage of that power difference with malice. Furthermore, anyone in a position of power who sees abuse happening and does nothing to stop it or help those in need has forfeited their right to authority, and the victim has full moral right to strike back however necessary if only to prevent further harm to themselves and those in a similar position.

RE: Could you explain your moral philosophy?
Free to do a lot of things, but when other people are involved I must be respectful, considerate and never deceitful, if I want something from them. When I can help someone I try to.
I find to be morally offensive deceit, abuse, and violence in all its forms. I might have missed something, but most evil in the world is a result of the above.
I also have no right to be prejudiced against:
for obvious reasons, what people are born into
people whose lifestyle choices are different to mine, unless these choices involve harming people. It's none of my business what the rest of the world thinks.
Always forgive your enemies: nothing annoys them so much.
