morality is not one thing for one person and something else for another. morality is a set of guidelines in order to help us live our lives as positively and effectively so that we all may ultimately have a greater grasp at the pursuit of happiness. if we follow our morals, we may find and instill in our souls a greater glimpse of joy and peace than we could ever fathom. and if we follow this path, we may find ourselves engulfed in the grace of g-d.

morality is: do not let drinking, eating, as well as money consume you and take you from the more important things in life, such as g-d.

hedonism: “drinking is right because it makes me feel good.”

utilitarianism: “drinking is right because it brings about more good than evil.”

libertarianism: “drinking is not wrong since it does not infringe on anyone elses liberty. it is not right since i am also at liberty to not drink.”

christian morality requires that you kill your disobedient children.
a pseudo-philosophical subject which lays at the intersection of ethics and religion. its primary concern is to take ethical non issues concerning personal choice and masquerade them as the cause of all social ills while ignoring the underlying problems of any given social negative.

morality is the mask of an artificial enemy.
example:
religious fundamentalist: d-mn those hippies and those queers, with their drugs and b-ttsecks; they’re the reason for everything wrong in this country!! we didn’t have problems like this back in my day when everyone listened to g-d and followed his morality!!!

rationalist: no, back in your day you had unfair labor practices and sweat shops to contend with. the root of most of our problems are rooted in poverty and ignorance. if we regulated drug sales gangs would dissolve for lack of income. the revenue generated by drug sales and gay weddings could provide quality education and health care for everyone.

just as a person has a taste in music, so has a person taste in actions. this is morality.

just as people disagree on which music is bad, so do people disagree on which actions are bad. this is the nature of morality.

just as no person is correct about which music is bad, so is no person correct about which actions are bad. this is the truth of morality.
what is taste but the flavour of food on your tongue?
what is feeling but the flavour of objects on your skin?
what is morality but the flavour of actions on your emotions?
