Correct English grammar might be quite difficult, but ethics, according to JP Cusick, is a simple matter.
Examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.

Shouldn't we answer one another in an honest fashion as noted by academic honesty rather than lie to one another as this discussion and every other discussion continues?

It must be admitted that lying and stealing are dubious actions that most people say are generally wrong in trying to come forward with a credible morality!

So why is Ethics/Moral responsibility simple? Let's consider the Christian side. We have:
Christian-Kantian Ethics and thereof morality: 7 Commandments (of 10) and the Golden Rule in general. Next we have the law-abiding side to democratic laws and regulations "of, by and for the people"! Nothing "magical" about this either.
Conclusion: Ethics, minimally one set, is simple! JP Cusick is right!

This is supported further by the fact that even Atheists hold driver licenses and they never complain about the traffic rules there, but a lot of noise when they must relate to ethics and duties to e.g. Human Rights and other.

Settled? 8-)

And if you reject monogamy then you go ahead and screw around all you want, because the hard hurting realities of real life will teach you soon enough - as it does teach us all.

I really do not want you or anyone to believe me - as I want you to believe your self - and if you seek the truth sincerely then in due time it will lead you to God - because God is the giver of right from wrong.
