·      All people have an equal claim to certain inalienable rights among which are life, freedom of conscience, freedom of choice, freedom of expression, equal opportunity, tolerance and social equity - and no law, government, majority, religion, ideology or prejudice can ethically deny even one individual equal opportunity to enjoy them.
·      The only legitimate application of love and ethics is without respect for divisive ideologies that capitalize on differences in race, ethnicity, national origin, philosophy, religious belief or the lack thereof, gender, or sexual orientation. 
·      We must not subject others who are different to the kind of malevolent treatment that we ourselves do not wish to be subjected to.
·      We must demand of ourselves the same ethical standards we demand of others.
·      It is only by way of empathy with those suffering, languishing in poverty, ostracized, disenfranchised or oppressed that we can achieve equity in our treatment of others.
·      Any attempt to defend indefensible unethical/immoral standards, inhumane views and/or hateful rhetoric/behavior is an assault upon human decency. Those who make apologetic excuses for unethical/immoral conduct are themselves ethically/morally bankrupt.
·      Ethics must include an uncompromising commitment to freedom of conscience, freedom of expression, freedom of choice, equity, equality, justice and tolerance for all. These values must mandate the character of our faith and ethical standards.
·      Any person, group, institution, faith, philosophy or religion who nurtures hate, bigotry and intolerance for others who they view objectionably different, only because they are different, and attempt to ostracize, disenfranchise, vilify and/or otherwise damage their lives, represent the most-evil elements of humankind.
