What is interesting to me is that this line of reasoning in the OP is what eventually lead me to realize that free-will isn't real. We don't chose to be good or bad. We just are what we are. And good and bad are both totally subjective, depending on who's POV you are looking from.
To answer the OP, I didn't answer your poll, even though I read it, for some of the reasons you are wondering. I try and be the best I can, but I am not comfortable labeling myself as a "good" person. I am a fortunate, lucky person. That's the best way I can think of to describe myself.
Good questions, CL. I hope it spurs more good conversations.
Got to say that I just can't be bothered to dwell on morality. I'd rather live an interesting or a beautiful life than I would a morally exemplary life. That said, when a moral choice arises it can be motivating. But I can't be arsed to go around looking for causes to throw myself behind. I'd rather have a life. Somebody should give that a try.
