I view things base on my faith/belief/principle/disposition, knowledge and experience.
As does everyone, including me. Like I said: it's impossible for us to live without a certain amount of certainties, so we act and kill, or otherwise stop the snake ;-)
In this article though I tried to explain sciences latest possible answers to life's largest and oldest questions; there's no certainties there. There's no certainties in science at all even. If we don't even have a good definition of life, how can we presume to know what it means to die? And even the snake and your kid: who says the life of your kid is worth more than that of the snake? We both know the answers and we both choose the child, but that doesn't take away from the question what is moral and what is not, and there's no definite answers there.
I view things base on my faith/belief/principle/disposition, knowledge and experience.
And that's why I choose to not believe in a God: religion introduces some absolute truth, a sort of truth I cannot have about almost anything. But I don't begrudge or dislike people who do believe in God :-)
Thanks for the response @zyx066!
By the way what's your name if you don't mind?
I respect all people as well, even criminals, prostitutes, addicts and all kinds of people of any sort.
And I don't judge any person at all, even how bad that person is, because I know that I don't know what that person is going through. I can't even judge myself, much more to other people.
So you believe on morality?
