text: Morality is not based on emotions, unfortunately. You sound like a utilitarian or moral relativist at best. Which is Godless. If you don't believe in God, so be it. But if you do, you also believe morality is determined by Him and Him alone. Emotions are flawed and perfect happiness doesn't exist. Also, there is something to be said about the grace of asceticism anyway and the great saints who practiced it fully.
