I Am Fascinated By Science, Religion, and Philosophy

Religious people of SW, what is your religion's code of ethics that guide you?
Atheists of SW, do you have a philosophy that guides you?
If neither applies to you, I guess just stand over there and roll your eyes at everyone.

If everyone just tried their hardest to live by your religion's version of the "Golden Rule" life would be pretty damn good.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

An it harm none, do what ye will.

“Blessed are the tender, for they will own the earth.”
That basically sums it up for me.

@JoyfulSilence That’s ok. I just felt Straylight’s question refers to serious ethical standards.

@helenS It is a serious inquiry, but it would be an incomplete study if I removed answers, even the non serious ones.

@Straylight I do not have a strict philosophy. I try to be kind but I am rarely forgiving. I am usually honest even if it causes trouble (like my comment above seems to have -- I was partly serious!).

I do not see what is so offensive and wrong about enjoying life, including the sexual parts of life. I do not understand the appeal of religious traditions that want to deny that part of us, make it taboo, sinful, criminal. Life is full of so much suffering, why not enjoy it, too?
