and amoral.
In the absence of any proof of god, I chose to examine the reality of human responses to ethos. Moral is to do unto others... Immoral is to do unto others what you wouldn't want done to you, and amoral is go forward as a singular, regardless of impact.
I clarified so much of it with the conclusion of the last person on earth when he/she discovered, nobody cared.
All questions are answered by your choice to be moral, immoral or amoral.
God is not really in the equation except if you want. Not really needed in spite of your wants.
Question about whether you support democracy. Answer with: it is a choice to allow for another view, your view is worthless, or I'll decide when I have to.
