Quote:Why those questions? What makes them a reliable guide for moral behavior?

Fair question.

I don't find morality quite that simple. I sometimes find myself in conflict between my rational and emotional self. Rationally I'm self interested, utilitarian and a moral relativist. Emotionally, I am burdened with a REALLY annoying vestigal Catholic conscience. Do you know,there are times where I actually DO things NOT in my own best interest? I'm a baaaaaaad little atheist.

Tiger

PS Rationally, I do not recognise any external or transcendent moral authority.
