My beliefs?hmmmm???
is adultery immoral? is incest immoral? is pedophilia immoral? is rape immoral? is stealing from another immoral?
all just individual emotion as you say...?
Adultery: somewhat (I think it's more an ethical question, really)
Incest: no (not if consensual and no children are involved)
Pedophilia: yes (because children are involved by definition)
Rape: always (because it is by definitition violent and injurious)
Stealing: usually (it can be justified under some extreme circumstances)
But those are my individual beliefs/opinions. They have no significance outside my own life, except insofar as I help to shape the social consensus.
Like everyone else, my beliefs result in part from my emotions and prejudices. My "gut feelings" in the vernacular. I try very hard, though, to not let my emotions rule my opinions.
