I was reading this post a while back in which the author posits that the central identity of the self isn't memories but instead moral choices. It made me start thinking about my own morality, and how that's changed over the past year.
I don't know how objective I'm capable of being. Objectivity is not really part of the basic human skillset. You generally have to move into one of the prestige classes to get it as a class skill. (Yes, I know I'm throwing out nerdy gaming terms as if they actually apply to real life.) But I'm going to try to be objective over the next few posts and explore how, if at all, my morality has changed since becoming a non-believer.
So, these are the basic areas I'm going to try to cover:
Sexuality and Gender Identity
Trans identity
Same sex relationships
Monogamy
Birth control
Sexual ethics
Social Justice
Poverty
Private charity vs. public policy
Supporting the Church
Crime and Punishment
Drug Use
Life Issues
Abortion
Euthanasia
War
Self Defense
Looks like you have the outline of a book there.
