I figured you wouldn't, and that's because of our different views regarding human sexuality. I was merely trying to explain why/how what goes on inside our minds without outward actions can still play a role in the type of person we are and can still be considered immoral.

Quote:Re Second: Yelling, while it may not be socially correct and something I may need to apologize for, again not amoral. Just a poor way of communicating. 

So is anything that creates a regret an amoral act/thought?

I would disagree. I think yelling at an innocent bystander who has nothing to do with whatever problem you're dealing with is wrong. I used to come home in tears when my grumpy manager was having a bad day and took it out on me by going off on me for no reason whatsoever. But again, the main point I was making was simply that you can think a normal human behavior can still be immoral behavior. Would you argue then that under no circumstances at all would you ever think normal behavior can ever be immoral?

To answer your question, no. People can do all kinds of immoral things without feeling regret for having done them. I'm sure ISIS falls into this category. And likewise, someone can feel incredibly guilty for something that was not at all their fault. If I said anything that suggested otherwise, then that's my bad. But anyway, this is a question about objective/subjective morality. Which I'm not sure fits into the point I'm making.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
