They are the feelings, emotions and actions that puts the well being of others as equally important (if not more so) than your own. It is the selfless direction of ensuring your actions not only do not cause harm to others but also benefit them. It is the recognition and internal actualization of the needs of others and accepting they having warrant and value. If one lives by these notions but does not worship a God and that God's moral laws mandate worship or face eternal suffering, then that God was never moral to begin with. Worship should never be attached to punishment. All associated morality is then a mechanism of fear rather than simply doing and being good and virtuous. |
"feelings" therefore they are subjective meaning that they vary across people
how could you use something that varies as a measure of morality?
i realise that people use empathy as this catch all word to address the issue of morality and often it seems to me like they don't really get what empathy actually is
people are generally very empathetic to members of their own social grouping and far less so towards members of other social groupings and that all by itself throws empathy out the window with regards to it being a solution
