If someone treats me kindly and respectfully, I am going to understand the good and reciprocate it. No god needed.
If someone does something that hurts me, obviously that is not good.
Thank Kitan.
But don't you believe there are some things that ARE immoral regardless of how someone might "feel?"
For example, a jealous husband can feel that murdering his cheating wife is not immoral. But he is wrong. It IS immoral regardless of how he feels or what he thinks. The question is, where does the universal truth "murder is wrong" come from?
"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."
