I want to mention when you talked about calling your gf fat. I would say it is very morally wrong to NOT tell someone they are fat. We all grew up being told to not tell people they are fat... wrong.. stupid.. blah blah blah to spare them embarrassment. Thats a load of bologna. If someone is fat, you tell them, yes you are fat, then they can remedy their situation so in the long run you actually helped the person, maybe at the cost of a little feelings getting hurt, but it is better for the person to know the truth then to hide behind lies.
Morality is telling the truth no matter what, along with treating people as equals. You do not need a book for that, it is hardwired into our bodies. Ever kill a mammal then feel funny or unsure of what you have just done.. that is your body telling you, why the fuck did you do that. Cry when someone close dies? Have the feeling of betrayal that can not be cured? Biological morality.
Yet we do know many of our kind can not feel empathy, now is that a learned trait, or a biological trail, id say a learned trait. If you are highly religious you have a false sense of superiority so you have learned to not feel empathy because you are "better" than said person, because of a stupid book that says you are.
