The other day I was just perusing Wikipedia, clicking on whatever random link interested me at that moment (does anyone else do that?), and I stumbled on utilitarianism. Essentially, utilitarianism is a moral theory that states the option that provides the most good for the most people (the most
utility) is the most moral and thus the best choice.
I was just wondering what people here use as their basis for morals and ethics. I was raised Christian, so when I was younger I formed my opinions around a Christian basis. I'm slowly changing those as I learn more about agnosticism and read more about philosophy, etc., but I was just wondering what you guys use as your moral base.
Here's the link, if anyone wants.
