While I understand the concept of a moral compass, the uber literal-ness in me hates the term because it makes no sense in my mind. What I'm finding, though, is the concept that EVERYTHING exists on a spectrum of one thing or another. So yes, I agree that in order to define what is 'good' you must also define what is 'bad' (as much as it sucks). But I'll say again, as I have in other posts, things aren't simply black/white, right/wrong, or good/bad; the world is full of grey, hence my insistence of good vs. bad on a spectrum.

And you're not alone in feeling stupid with amidst some of these posts. I'm still putting my two cents in even though a fair bit of the science and math is over my head.... That's why most of my posts are more based on history and psych therapy.
