We have a constitution, we have laws and by-laws, we have a society we live in with unwritten rules that we could live by. And these could change if we collectively think they need to be changed. Our world is evolving around us. We no longer live in the dark ages with witch hunts and most countries have moved on from death penalties. I hope that gives enough of an answer.

Just be good to one another and enjoy this life. I don't believe the principles need to be written down like a guide. We need to discover these things ourselves and understand why, not just blindly follow some code. We've seen how that can be a bad thing.

That would be contrary to human nature, such confinments lead to mental disorder. Social compliance disorder is what I call it. Telling people what they believe is hurtful. It's likely akin to gaslighting.

It would have to be done right. Nothing dogmatic. I don't need somebody makeing spritual rules for me.

I could have voted for all those answers. They all have their place.

Ethics are solely principles meant to propagate the species that's it that's all

I think a casual, light-toned, mildly self-depreciating book about morality as an atheist would be good simply for something to quote passages from, to hold up as a general ideal when people accuse atheists of devil-worship and baby eating. But anything that attempts to be a comprehensive, definitive work is asking for trouble. So I voted maybe.

I live my life on myvrerms.

The one and only:

To know right from wrong and to act accordingly.
