What IS good, and how do we determine it?

Bitch, please.

I asked a simple question and your answer is to rave, you must have an agenda with me I'm not aware of.

I agree.

Kitan, I have respect for you as you have taken the time to talk with me here, but I really don't think you should be bullying/name calling other members here.

I can certainly see the benefits of monogamy, yes I'm not up on details or studies or anything, but I can appreciate that one single committed relationship will reduce certain risks. Sadly it doesn't always work out with the first person, much as you'd like it to. And I wouldn't want anyone sticking with the first person for the sake of it if they are unhappy.

For me the big thing is that your opinions wouldn't lead you to act. I said it earlier, but I think it's worth repeating. That's an important distinction. As far as I'm concerned, people can think whatever they like as long as it doesn't lead them to harmful actions. Of course there's the issue of passing on those opinions to others, but you're so quick to own them rather than state them as "truths" that I don't see a problem. What I can't stand is indoctrination of children where religious belief is taught as fact. But of course I note you don't have kids anyway

Absolutely on the bolded!

Me thinking a particular action is immoral does not warrant treating anyone badly for it. I can say that I often do things that are immoral too, and I would not want people to throw stones at me for it.
