You should know because you should have your own set of morals. What is moral to me may not be moral to you and vice versa.

Morals means your own thoughts actions and mind set --.personal --not what other people think. Everybody is different/ What you might think is OK may just be something really awful for some one else who has strong religious ideas. People w ith no morals have no sense of rightness or decency

Basically, listen to your conscience. If you pay attention, you can hear a voice within yourself that says something is right or wrong. Behaving according to your conscience is moral for you. Now, the norms of morality varies from culture to culture, society to society, religion to religion and even person to person. Example, in the ages before Christ, for Israel, it was moral to hurt another man equally as he hurt you - eye for an eye. But later, Christ taught them, forgive those who hurt you. So, now, if I hurt back someone who has hurt me, as a christian, it would be immoral. I am supposed to forgive. Your morality depends on the rules of your country, teachings of your religion and, above all, your conscience which has derived its moral sense from your parents, peers, teachers and the society that you grow up in. If your behaviour is in accordance with these norms that I just said, then your behaviour is moral.

Morals can only exist if there is someone higher than ourselves to set them. To say that we each should have a standard of morals is ridiculous as that makes whatever we want alright. God clearly gives defining morals and laws in his written word, the Bible. No other being is certified to create laws and morals.

Think of what you are doing and imagine it was a family member doing it. Would you be comfortable? If yes, it's most likely moral, else not.

Morality only exists if there is a God. Otherwise logic dictates that it is simply every man for himself.
But since when are humans interested in truth?

If it doesn't feel "right" when you're doing it, then it's immoral by your standards.
Go with your gut.
