Dennis has a very wise saying on Facebook to the effect that how we feel is infinitely less important than how we act.
Underpinning this statement likely is his conservative assumption that all humans are born sinners, the result being that our urges and feelings are natural--often shocking-- and unavoidable. The moral adult does not act upon his feelings in most instances--and in emergencies, having practices safe, humane responses in times of crisis as the way to go--but reacts based upon his preferred, distinctive moral code.
How the moral person acts is generally in line with what he conceives of as ethical, reasonable behavior.
