Reasoning could dictate the death of one could save many or the it's only fair to have a death penalty because it alleviates the tax payers burden of paying for their prison sentence when their the ones who are prison and committed a sin. The fact of the matter is what's Morally right isn't always whats the most logical now is it? With cold reasoning it's a waste to send resources to Africa and third world countries in need of supplies because we may come upon hard times ourselves and best to prepare and fortify ourselves and let others die. Being a Moral Relativist I find it incomprehensible to use a system of Moral Absolutism because it downs good and evil down to a name and laws. Good and Evil is merely human words in my opinion for justifying the things they see around them but I believe there is no set moral code which we all universally know deep down and use to dictate our actions. Therefore in my humble opinion reason and emotion ARE the moral decision because your emotions dictate your sense of justice and reason dictates your course of action in a logical being. Humans not being logical leads to attroticities like the Holocaust still mind you however we all here can agree that it was a horrible act I do not think it was some universally evil deed I certainly find it an irreprehensible act and even Hitler was often disgusted with what he had set forth to do according to details and conjecture so it would seem natural though that others could feel he was in the right. Take the Nazi youth program to young to form their own vision of what is right and wrong they get tainted by influence and start to actually believe what they're told about others and formulate the "moral decision" that the world needs a purging.

Therefore I believe moral decision's are based on reason and emotion equally for there is no set moral code in my beliefs.

EDIT: I was waiting for someone to correct Few themselves but I'll do the honors. Few justifying a moral decision requires logic to see if it was a good decision or not if you judged a moral decision on only emotion then every decision you choose would be morally right meaning nothing you ever do contradicts your beliefs because nothing backs them up and they become superfluous to the extent that you may as well have never felt conviction in any action in the first place.
