Metaphysics notwithstanding, I would imagine that you and I have similar ethical codes, Susan. There have been many notable lapses, but I try to live by what my conscience tells me is good. In the context of my own faith, my way is to not overly question if various behaviors are or not a sin. My 'faith' is that God knows that this is too broad a subject for mortals, and that such filtering is okay in general. Personally, Susan, I believe that one's conscience is a good identifier of situations that call for ethical emphasis. : )
