Maybe. And sticking to it is a whole different thing. I made this thread because of an observation that a sufficiently moral and sufficiently believed framework has a better probability of directing normal human behavior than what comes naturally.
My main point is that doctrine is never a good thing. If you can't explain your moral framework logically, you should try to explain it or re-evaluate it.
Depends on what you mean by explain and logically. There's plenty of good stuff that isn't quite that well explained logically.
The point of this thread is explaining one reason that a doctrine might be a good thing. If you are a normal human you act in normal human ways, yet if you have a doctrine that is better than normal human, it can propel you to act in better than normal human ways.
