I don't see things as moral or immoral. That presupposes a notion that I don't deal in. Why not? Believing in GOOD does not need to equate to believing in GOD. I don't have a GOD--but I have a GOOD. I would like to think that you did too. But you have a right to ignore them. Most words in the dictionary are ignored by most people. Rights are not moral, and it is not immoral to deny "them", unless we speak in the language of "morality". "Rights" are not necessarily rational or moral or universal. RIGHTS are all three by definition. Still, it is not morality, nor Jesus, that makes me, personally, choose to try and be the best neighbor I can be. If you are trying to be a good neighbour (the BEST neighbour!) then you are making value judgements and making moral distinction. It sounds like you are using your reason instead of what some organization would like to impose on you. Bravo!
