I have a paper I'm supposed to be writing for my ethics class, on the eternal question:
Why Be Moral?
Since I am writing generally from a Christian perspective, I need to also give reasoning from a Non-Christian perspective. I have books and essays, all of which give great cases for both theists and athiests to act morally, but if any of you would like to help, I would love to hear your answer to the question. Sometimes philosophy just seems to wander in circles. SO, what do you guys think? Why should we act morally? What does it even mean, to you, to be moral? You can answer as briefly or as deeply as you like. I just think that you can't really answer the question by reading philosophers; you have to look at the real freakin world around you. I would SUPER appreciate this guys and I love you even if you reply with one word.
