Something Else I Will Explain In Comments

To explain slightly, if you believe that there is a God, and that you know what the moral rules they set are, and you agree with those rules, that would be option one.

(Or you can replace "God" with "the natural order of things" if you believe that this includes an inbuilt morality.)

I chose the first one which feels incredibly arrogant! I don't believe that there are easy answers to moral questions or universal formulas. However, I do strongly believe that kindness and honesty are the highest moral principles. I believe if you are seeking to live out those as much as possible, your choices will be the most moral ones.

I am no longer a Christian but my view of morality is still very influenced by that. I believed that God was completely loving, wise and just and that it was his followers duty to try to embody those characteristics in the world (although we lack his omniscience and wisdom.)

It's summed up in this verse from Micah

And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
