Chris' invocation of an external authority - something I believe he
expressly did.

Indeed I did, for discussion purposes. Is there any difference between ethical and moral behavior? Is there any act or situation which can be unethical but moral, or immoral but ethical?

For example, can mere thoughts be unethical? Immoral? I would toss out as a theory for examination that a mere thought cannot be unethical, but can be immoral; that ethicality has do to exclusively with behaviors, but morality can have to do with unacted on beliefs or thoughts.

Be clear -- I do NOT pretend to have answers here. I don't even know what I think. I am throwing out ideas to get discussion stimulated, not to persuade or convince to one point of view or another.
