What's You're Insight In Morality?

[CuriousMicro]

Asking this question as I'm curious to hear peoples opinions and views. I had a conversation with a classmate of mine, somehow it ended up on the topic of morality and we came upon a disagreement to my surprise. I then realized then that morality was actually not that simple and we had totally different opinions, obviously except for the main ones such as murder being wrong.
Or maybe I'm over complicating things.. well whatever.

'This is my truth, tell me yours' essentially.

People's culture, religion, upbringing, experience, personality etc dictates how they perceive everything and their morality stems from that.
Society as a whole in each country has established a set of basic rules upon which most people vaguely agree most of the time, but even that is open to reinterpretation, for example lots of people would have no qualms about murdering a child molester but they probably wouldn't murder most other people.

of course people think that different things are right and wrong

Morality is what I see as right or wrong. Immorality is an appropiate description to apply to the beliefs of those who disagree with me.

Maybe new to AB ? Don't scare them away just yet .

[Peter Pedant]

since this is law
Lying to a judge is a bit of a fraught event

I wouldnt say that it is moral-
you should not lie under oath because god will not love you
but more

the consequences of being found out are really really bad so you should not do it ( and that is not really a moral dilemma )

[woofgang]

god's law (or goddess's of course)
