For the moment, let's leave religion out of this discussion. I will come back to it later.
All Humans(people), by nature, have the same rights; not dependent on when, where, how, or what gender they are born. These Rights supersede all national affiliations and national laws. These are natural laws. They existed before there were governments and will remain after.
First and foremost, All people own themselves.
All people are entitled to the fruits of their own labor.
All associations, transactions, contracts, agreements, sales, etc. of Any kind, for Any reason must be voluntary. (Non-Aggression Principle or NAP - Aggression/Coercion should not be used to force anyone to do, say, or agree to Anything. The ONLY time aggression may be used is in the defense of the life and rights of yourself (or others) from another party initiating aggression.)
Theft of any kind is wrong.
These represent my ETHICAL stance on way human society should be. I understand that this model of

Sexual Generosity [within the confines of a biblical marriage] - Kyle Idleman, Southeast Chrstian Church
A couple of takeaways from the sermon:
1) Healthy intimate/sexual relations reinforce the connection to God. Imagine that God is observing how you are treating your spouse (his son/daughter). If you treat his child poorly, then will he be more or less likely to be generous with you?
2) Oxytocin reinforces the bond between sexual partners and between mother and child. When you watch porn for sexual gratification, what does that oxytocin cause you to bond more strongly to? It causes you to bond more strongly to yourself. To put it another way, it reinforces to idea that sex is about self. Sex was never supposed to be about self, but rather, it was supposed to be about your partner.

"When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movements become headlong - faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thoughts of obstacles and forget the precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it's too late."

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
- Frank Herbert, Dune

"The British conservative philosopher Rogers Scrutin wrote somewhere that
the distinction between conservative and liberal politics is that liberals conceive of politics is a means of achieving certain goals, of progressively moving society toward some better state, where the problems that have always beset us over the centuries are finally solved. Conservatives, on the other hand, Scrutin says, conservatives understand social problems as permanent features of the human condition.
So ask a liberal what the purpose of politics is, and they might tell you the elimination of poverty or, elimination of racism or the promotion of scientific achievement, or depending on the era, a eugenic population. Conservatives follow Aristotle's formulation in saying that politics is much more like managing a friendship. What's the purpose? What's the goal of a friendship? There isn't really any goal except to make sure that we're still friends, and hopefully better friends tomorrow. And so, to a conservative, that's the purpose of politics as well, and if you don't think that way you or not a conservative. It's rooted in an essentially tragic view of the human condition, one that assumes frustration and suffering and compromise are a part of life and always will be. You solve today's problems and new ones will replace them tomorrow. Probably new ones that are a direct result of your solution to the old ones. But as long as we're all still friends tomorrow, as long as we're all still talking to each other in good faith, then we'll be able to meet tomorrow's problems, whatever they turn out to be."

"Attacking the press is a common ploy of autocrats and dictators who want to hide the truth. They oppose an open press that holds them accountable—and you know a country is in trouble when its leader tries to challenge and undermine press freedoms."

"No tyranny is more cruel than the one practiced in the shadow of the laws and under color of justice - when, so to speak, one proceeds to drown the unfortunate on the very plank by which they had saved themselves."

Considerations on the Causes of the Greatness of the Romans and their Decline, 1734

"Tyrannies invert the rule of law. They turn the law into an instrument of injustice. They cloak their crimes in a faux legality. They use the decorum of the courts and trials, to mask their criminality."

Be generous in your marriage, not transactional. Give good things (not just stuff) freely & abundantly without the expectation of something in return.

"The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants, and it provides the further advantage of giving the servants of tyranny a good conscience. It would be easy, however, to destroy that good conscience by shouting to them: if you want the happiness of the people, let them speak out and tell what kind of happiness they want and what kind they don't want! But, in truth, the very ones who make use of such alibis know they are lies; they leave to their intellectuals on duty the chore of believing in them and of proving that religion, patriotism, and justice need for their survival the sacrifice of freedom."
