Morality

Morality is not one thing for one person and something else for another. Morality is a set of guidelines in order to help us live our lives as positively and effectively so that we all may ultimately have a greater grasp at the pursuit of happiness. If we follow our morals, we may find and instill in our souls a greater glimpse of Joy and Peace than we could ever fathom. And if we follow this path, we may find ourselves engulfed in the Grace of God.

Morality is not: It's wrong to drink. Sex before marriage is bad.

Morality is: Do not let drinking, eating, as well as money consume you and take you from the more important things in life, such as God.

If I have sex before marriage, I might thirst more for Lust than Love and/or this could ultimately destroy my future as a loving husband/wife or father/mother.

Morality

A method by which an act can be labeled "right" or "wrong" or "neither". Many moral philosophies exist.

Egoism: "Drinking is wrong because it is bad for me."

Hedonism: "Drinking is right because it makes me feel good."

Utilitarianism: "Drinking is right because it brings about more good than evil."

Libertarianism: "Drinking is not wrong since it does not infringe on anyone elses liberty. It is not right since I am also at liberty to NOT drink."

Divine Command Theory: "Let's burn witches! the Bible says we should."

Christian morality requires that you kill your disobedient children.

morally deficient

A person who is morally deficient is someone who walks the legal line staying in the boundary of the law but teeters on the edge of committing a crime against another person making their life a "legalistic" one as opposed to a "moral" one, which if truly lived would need no laws to apply.

Legally he did not commit rape because he had sex with someone above age who reluctanly consented but he committed moral rape and/or is morally deficient because she was not a 100% willing to consumate the relationship.

Bureau of Morality

A fictional organization from the alternate reality game to the Nine Inch Nails Album Year Zero. The purpose of the Bureau is to keep citizens in line and make sure they aren't doing anything they consider "un-american" such as expressing dissapointment with the government. Extreme punishments are handed down to people who do break their laws and use their voice.

Our schoolboard's really become the Bureau of Morality, it sucks!
