How do you construct your ethics?
Max
Are you just going to keep asking questions? Are you working towards some elaborate "Comforting" gotcha moment?
Anyhow, I have so much work to do, I'll have time to construct ethics when I'm dead, which answers both your questions. But seriously, personal ethics are considerations rooted in basic values, and I got those probably in equal parts from being human and thus wired accordingly, and my upbringing and cultural background.
When I'm dead, my thoughts and memories will be lost in time like tears in the rain, and all the parts my wife doesn't want to keep will be donated to science. Says so on the card in my wallet.
I’m asking questions for the purpose of understanding not a gotcha. You’re right...some explanation is in order. I ask the first 6 questions to get a basis point for what someong believes about reality (worldview). Many have answered with glib answers to some of the questions, which is a basis for discovery in itself. Of course everyone is answering with freewill to say whatever the choose but the fact that some people decide to make a joke of some of the questions while answering seriously to others tells me that there is something deeper or hidden in the joke answers.
My reasons for asking these questions is because I’m taking a class on philosophy called Contemporary Worldviews and one of my assignments it to find some people with a varying worldview from my own and learn about their view.
Specifically what I’m trying to understand is how the atheist view is formed.
