I must, I must. I'm just asking because I always associated ethical with a more reasoned approach, and morality with a more dogmatic one. But you seem to say that behavior is ethical if it complies to the moral standard?
I don't care whether you consider ethics or morality the standard. What I care about is whether you consider behavior in conformance to the standard definitive or whether mere thoughts are a violation. I think behavior is the ONLY standard.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
