3). Pick one concept from the assigned reading, not already discussed, that you found useful or interesting and discuss it.

I know this is probably the shortest part of the book but I feel that ethical behavior is a good topic. I often see on Reddit.com that there are many posts in relation to atheism. Atheism is is the rejection of belief that a mythical entity exists, in short it means not believing in god.

My family claims that they are Christian believers and I have no problem with any religions really. But using the religion in defense for your actions is normally an unethical result. Often times each year my family would get together for the holidays and talk about their problems, they'll agree with each other on issues and reject some. But when something serious goes on and they know they did something bad they would say “I'm not a bad person I didn't mean to do it, I'm a Christian!” Now just seeing that you would assume it is a small non-serious matter that just occurred, but my aunt made Christianity look bad when she claimed that her actions of “attempting to have another man sexually molest my girlfriend” is not “A bad thing because what I did is correct, I'm a Christian.”

As I said earlier I am no atheist but I hate it when people misuse the peace of religion to justify their unethical behavior.

Ethical behavior is pretty much a set group of standards that many agree upon, what my aunt did is considered unethical since she defaced a religion and had a man commit a crime. In the United States the only ethical standards I know off the top of my head is don't steal, don't cheat, do not harm others, and work together to become strong. If no one agrees with any of those standards then I guess I need to review ethical standards again.

I hope I didn't steer too far from the topic with my aunt's problem but I feel that it was a good example of what unethical behavior looks like. As a fellow citizen I ask you “Do you think what my aunt did was ethical?”
