[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] My definitions. May not agree with Webster. Morality: a system of behavior and beliefs, backed up by religious, supernatural, or some other external authority. Usually general to the specific religion an individual is a member of, and not subject to modification. (Example: "Thou shalt not kill." --OT) Ethics: a system of behaviour and beliefs, arrived at by reason and experience. Generally extremely personal, may vary greatly from one person to another. Subject to modification and growth. (Example: "I'm not going to kill today."-- Kirk) Group Ethics: An Ethical system arrived at by the consent of the majority of a group. Varies between groups, thusly you have "scientific ethics," "military ethics," "librarian ethics," "forum ethics," etc. Being of a religion that does not support external moral authority, I cannot say I have morals. I have a rather strong, and, I think, valid and complete system of Ethics. I live by Group Ethics when I must, in order to maintain harmony. [/QB][/QUOTE]
