Whoa, hold on...
You just spent several posts projecting sheer utilitarianism while I argued the need for basic foundational principles to deal properly with issues on a personal and national level. Did I miss something?
My own preference is for rational and objective principles, since they are more useful if something new pops up, but if someone behaves like a civilized live-and-let-live person because God wants them to, or because their parents brought them up right, or any other source, I have no beef with it.
