    Immoral persons do not always do immoral things when they act.

    Does this answer the question I asked tom? If you do ONE immoral thing are you immoral or moral? Do we take each act on its own...total them up..see how many are moral and how many immoral and then decide if the person is moral or im? Your reply confuses me. Please explain what you mean. Thank you for your reply! :) This post was edited by RosieG at April 20, 2017 12:17 PM MDT

    It suggests that your questions needs a tune-up.  If you are asking about an immoral person, then you need to define the term as you are using it.  It seems I have the greater right to be confused in this case.

    The definition of immoral is not conforming to accepted standards of morality.  

    Tell me the accepted standards of morality to which this person does not ascribe to and I can elaborate. This post was edited by tom jackson at April 20, 2017 2:18 PM MDT

    I asked the question I wanted to ask tom. if you believe it needs a tuneup why don't you ask the tuned-up version? I think it is a very easy question to answer. You don't. So we disagree at the very beginning which means there is really no place to go from here. I shall give you an example which may confuse you more or perhaps it will clarify. Let's say I cheat on my husband. But in every other way I am a "good" person. Am I moral or immoral? I should think that would be easy peasy to answer. I say I am immoral. I am a cheater which makes me a liar. Anyway thanks and all. Happy Friday.
