Existentialist crap

[martinemonster]

So, I'm here at work, thinking about the big questions in life. And I wonder: how does one decide on a set of morals and ethics? I believe that a large part of it is conditioned in through media, childrens books, parents and society in general, but I also believe that one has free will and are able to make decitions at least a little bit by oneself.

So my question(s) to you is: do you believe in right and wrong? what are your views on moral and ethics and how did you decide on them?

Me nad carl ended up discussing whether sin exists or not the other day. And since he's a christian and all, he believes pretty firmly that there are actions that are considered wrong or sinful regardless if people are hurt by them or not because there are a mandatory set of morals that one should follow.

I don't believe that the same set of morals works on everyone, or in every situations. Whenever themes like that comes up, I end up ranting about the same old utilitarian crap. I blankly refuse to look at any action as wrong if it doesn't hurt anyone.

I don't believe in anything, and least of all in man making their own decisions. However, I might concider the idea of me making decisions for everybody, eventhough it might be stressful. Yeah, that's a good plan. And hey, if it don't work out, there's always cuba.
