[quote=scpitcher;962](I suggested this forum so I guess I should kick it off

For some time I have been trying to formulate a personal moral code w/o basis in the traditional religious teachings. Is this possible or a futile exercise?

Your excercise won't be futile if you recognize how Man sees morals and how God sees morals are different. As a rule Man's morals always exceed God's.

9. Do recognize the fact that not everyone is the same gender, orientation, mindset or religious and philosophical preference as you, and enjoy the chance you have to learn something new, outside your own box.
10. Respect yourself, no matter what mistakes you make. When you make one, pick yourself up, learn from it, make amends as much as possible, then move on.
