The difference between pay for women and men is another example of how false information gets "interpreted".  And obviously a lot of folks believe this is prevalent.

The folks I know would be ethical regardless of course.  They believe their faith is a kind of guiding light in their lives, a useful and positive influence.

They wouldn't have been bad people had they grown up and lived without any religion.
Agreed, but many seem to think otherwise.

My question is by what standard.  What is the basis of what is ethical.  Am I the basis.  Is the majority the standard. How do we decide what is good and ethical?  What is a bad person what is a good person.  How do we decide.   

This is why we have classes and books on ethics but still can't agrees by what standard.

There are many opinions of course, I think they mostly are "in the weeds".  Human societies share certain standards, as do groups of other social animals.  If we didn't, we wouldn't survive very well.  A single human "in the wild" is not very likely to succeed, while a human group is likely.  we collaborate, we don't kill each other in our own group (usually), we have sympathy for those less fortunately.

One paleontologist says she realized humans were civilized when we encountered a human fossil with a clear bone break that had knitted.

I find it amusing how most children scoff when I say people are animals.  

Let me drop your naked ass in the middle of a jungle, you will feel like an animal real quick.  And not anywhere near the top of the chain, either.

Your point wouldn't be weakened by allowing the children to remain clothed while you drop them into the middle of the jungle.

Kind of odd, and frankly a little unsettling, that you feel the need to strip them down first.

Children scoff at a lot of things, and take what they are told as being true all too often as well.

If one studies any social animal group, one will find "norms" and "rules" that if disobeyed results in punishment.

I don't know about children, but I had a vegan girlfriend in college who got upset when I told her that people are just animals, we're part of the food chain, and that's why it's okay to eat meat.

But I drank plenty of pineapple juice so she was still cool with it.
