What is the difference between moral decisions made in a context of infinity vs. a context of 0-100 years?
Are decisions based in the infinite time frame somehow more important? If anything decisions in the shorter time context frame should be assumed to be more important as the infinity is unknown (it's called faith for a reason) where as the here and now consequences can be estimated with a reasonable amount of accuracy.
To kick off a fun example can I ask the question. How should homosexuality be approached under your moral framework? (I urge you to speak freely, I shall not call you a homophobe or other derogatory name, you are free to assume your own position and I respect that - even if I may not share your views).
I often forget all my conclusions about morality and ethics and all that shit, and it's because in my mind they are actually unimportant. Your question is only a starting point to realize that it's non-sense and absurd and relative.
Seriously, it doesn't matter. Or maybe at least to me. Maybe because I don't even mind people doing what they want, like being homosexual? Do we really have anything against people using their anus anyway they like? I don't think so, and I think it's only the minority now, just give it a couple of decades and it would be normal. Actually, I'm wrong but I like to think I'm right.
It's all relative. 100 years or eternity, water or sulfuric acid, our sky or the core of the earth, what we see or what we don't see. We assign the meaning.
