By what standard do you define morality?

discuss

order

I took the question as being about "moral trustworthiness" rather than about having any specific moral code. In my view, "moral trustworthiness" is having a moral code that you adhere to, regardless of what that code actually is. It's the opposite of "moral opportunist", or someone whose moral code changes according to what happens to be the most advantageous at the time.

But I could be overthinking this.

I mean, the nazi’s, Chinese communist party, and ISIS all have a moral code they adhere to.

I think, WHICH moral code you choose has some relevance here.
