A question on ethics

I'm Christian. I see consider my ethics to be drawn from my faith. It just so happens that if you approach interpersonal relationship issues with a Christian attitude, then you're also applying RPW principles.

As a Pagan, my sense of ethics/morals are rooted in nature. I also recognize ethics are subjective and that there is no one moral law, thus why no two groups can often agree and many try to find the "best" way to live as a human being.

Being Pagan, I believe in leaving nature primarily how it is, which is why I've stopped agreeing with the feminist movement. It attempts to change humanity in a way that disagrees with nature. RPW embraces the natural differences between men and women and uses it for human betterment, which goes perfectly with nature, as we all strive to survive. RP works well within my religion (at least my specific interpretation), so I have no qualms about what I'm doing. I also don't think of my religion as a defining factor in my life, though, so it rarely comes to the front. I don't like to argue religion with people; I prefer teaching (when asked about things).

I also believe in reincarnation (though I don't bet the world on it), but that falls under my trust in nature's natural cycles. It's kind of irrelevant to my ethics other than the fact that I prefer to live a good, kind life as a person in hopes that I might be able to have many more good lives (provided I'm correct).

TRP considers itself amoral, so does it really matter how it aligns with my ethics?

It's becoming a meme, but I'll repeat it anyways, sexual strategy is amoral. RP gives you effective strategies to achieve your goals. It doesn't tell you what goals to have. You have to decide for yourself if your goals are immoral, if the strategies are immoral, and if you care.

my ethics and the market based transactional nature of TRP go hand in hand, as i am an objectivist

Not all of us are religious here, I'm not for one. The Christian marriage model does have some similarities with the ideas presented here, as do most major religions. That has more to do with the model working well, rather than the religions themselves using it.

I would caution you about talking about "ethics" and "morals" in relation to the red pill. The red pill is inherently amoral, meaning it has no moral compass. The idea is it's either true or it isn't. Truth doesn't care about morality, like the way gravity doesn't care about morality. Sure, people die in suicide due to gravity, but the gravity has no capacity to care, it just is.

Objectively, morality doesn't exist. It's essentially a code of conduct determined by society so that it can function. That's why morality changes based on era, religion and region. All those societies had determined different needs from their people. It's not good people who define what's good, it's society who determines what it needs from people, and calls that "good".

A lot of red pillers, in here included, have decided that there's no value in doing what society wants from them anymore. That's where they dropped the ball, since people aren't rewarded for acting well (and sometimes punished for it) they cease doing what's good for society and start doing what's good for them. Personally, I like being nice to others, even if they aren't my SO. Not so I can claim moral superiority, but because it helps my feeling of self worth when other people like me, and want to be around me, when I am nice. It makes my SO proud that I'm with him. I get something out of it.

I'm not religious, but I was raised religious. My morals are that I don't do anything that I would feel bad about. I try to live a life of integrity and that also happens to correspond with a lot of the Christian morals. I don't lie to people who matter to me (authority figures are fair game), I don't steal, I try not to gossip (but I do believe that it has its place as a warning system), and I always try to be nice to people who are nice to me.

I do not see any difference or change in my morals or ethics since taking the red pill. I have always tried to live with integrity.
