Immorality is..

[Beany]

...doing what you personaly believe is wrong, for the sake of satisfying your desires.

Does anyone agree?

[Spirit of '22]

No. All but about 40 people on Earth believe the wrong thing, or dont believe anything at all.

So exactly what is the right thing to believe???

[RnNhyde]

I would classify immorality as doing what *someone else* believes is wrong, to satisfy your own desires.

So what you're saying is that you're own beliefs count for nothing?

[Dark_Magneto]

Morality is completely subjective.

Yes and No?

If your belief was, murder = Immorality.

You would judge someone on that simple belief, but for someone else, murder might not = Immorality.

And so in whose eyes are they to be judged in?

Yours who would say that they have wronged, or theirs where there would be no wrong done.

[Beany]

Well surely if anything should be judged it should be the intent behind the action.

For instance, someone may steal some bread (which some would say way immoral), but that person truley believes he is doing good because he plans to give it to the starving.

As far as he is concerned, he is doing good.

It's the intentions of the individual that determines whether it's immoral or moral

[NightVision]

molrality is arelitive term or it doesn't exist

[SanityDeprived]

I believe morallity was invented by society as another means of keeping control. By getting the majority to believe that this is bad, and this is good, this is "moral" and this is "Immoral" people developed an instinct to decide which was which thus keeping them from doing things that could cause troubles in society. But if you think about it, what's moral or not depends on the person and what they believe.
