Morality is for people who cannot think for themselves...
Many people make claims of or to some moral imperative or authority to justify their positions. Such arguments fail. A moral position is, by its proscriptive nature, inherently wrong. Morality, the predefined determining of an action being right or wrong by virtue of some authority, deity, code, or law dehumanizes one. Morality takes away from us that which makes us persons, the ability to be self directing. Surrendering to the external control of a moral code, regardless of its source, is to become some sort of zombie, or robot; following directions with no right or facility to self determination. Might as well go back to the savanna and stop thinking altogether.
Ethics, the individual's search for normative criteria to use in dynamically judging for themselves an action as right or wrong, is the only thing that offers one a path to self determination and person-hood. Such a path will be individual, breed conflict, and require growth without end. It is being alive and active and risking pain rather than seeking stability. Morality, adhering to an externally given code or set of rules, is to surrender ones free will and self-determination; to become one's of the walking dead or an animatronic thing that passes for a person.
Be a person, not just one of the people.
