Consider the application of "Constructive vs Destructive"
as a decision criteria for all moral decisions.
Can anyone think of a "moral question" that have
generaly been answered by religion that could not
be answered at least as well by weighing the decision
on it merit in these terms?
1. How constructive it is
2. How destructive it is
Include potential, long and short term impact, also
include Con/destruction of trust, communication etc.
I am thinking this through on all the current issues of
our time and prefer this value system so far.
Can this replace the terms "good and evil"?
