i don’t think there is a “cast in stone” set of moral values. In the movie called “Kite Runner” the father instructs his child that the only sin is stealing. if you goof off at work, you are stealing from your employer. If you kill someone, you are stealing his or her family their beloved one. etc. that is a pretty comprehensive set of morals as far as i am concerned.
