What Is You Definition of Immoral?

[w00t]

In my opinion it is something that hurts others.

 

[Sunstone]

A preliminary definition for me might be along the lines of something that does harm to another, except in necessary self-defense or someone's else's defense. I prefer the word "harm" to "hurt".

"Immoral" are those acts or omissions toward which one feels a sense of wrongness or revulsion.

Immorality is hurting yourself, hurting another person, and hurting God. Sometimes hurting someone may be inaction.

Why is hurting yourself immoral? Unwise maybe, but immoral? As for hurting God, I think the old chap can take care of himself!

That which does not conform to the will of God...

God hates to look in sin.

Hurting yourself would be immoral because the people you love would be hurt to watch you destroy yourself.

 

[fantome profane]

I agree with ChristineES. (except I am not sure about the hurting God part?).

Hurting yourself is just as immoral as hurting someone else and for exactly the same reason. Harm is harm and suffering is suffering. To put yourself in a special category is egotism.

I cannot define immorality, but I know it when I see it, or could site examples of this.

Woody Allen comes to mind.

 

[Somkid]

Anything against the majority morality or what is considers to be universally true. What is moral in one place is not necessarily in another.

What about the psychotic personality?

Is it fair to hold them morally responsible when they haven't the faculty to care if they hurt others?
