I'm so sorry for the delay in the response, I'm just now seeing yours. I want to say thank you for engaging me in this, as to be honest, many hate these conversations or it devolves quickly, but I'm hoping this doesn't :) I tend to think that the morality we discuss is fairly common even if it's a mix of what we intrinsically feel and what we observe. One case I can point to is C.S. Lewis' Abolition of Man, in his description and the the Tao. You can see that for the most part, throughout recorded history there's a common sense of right and wrong. So I guess all of that to say, I try not to base my morality on emotion, especially in cases where my emotions line up with my morality (those tend to be the blind spots). I think that morality is a wide spectrum rainbow that we all truly desire to hit, and that most "sin" comes from focusing on the wrong parts or the right parts at the wrong time. But regarding some of your points, I guess some things in my view, like affirmative action policies don't count directly to morality (though maybe indirectly), at least in my opinion. I guess I focus morality towards those things we all see over the millennia, and ethics tend to be more temporal, though still critical. Anyways, this one is always tough to get deep into without establishing first principles :)
