A Cardinal Rule Concerning Written Laws:

If a law serves to solve a certain problem (assuming stringent and impartial enforcement) then you'll generally be okay with it, even if the law is a bit harsh, as long as it stands to improve things for you in some way.

If, on the other hand, a law seems to do little more than "exist to penalize you" while not doing anything to improve your life any, then you'll be resentful of the law as well as anyone who tries to enforce it against you.

Best human traits:
Being open-minded
Unbridled candor

Worst human traits:
Narrow-mindedness
Too much entitlement
Having too much authority

The problem with those in authority:

They're too much like the censors---they always seem to be misunderstanding things.
They'll regard anything "outside the box" or presented too candidly as being abusive, improper, lewd, predatory, or offensive.

They tend to read "malice" and ill intent into a lot of innocuous and innocent behaviors, conduct, and spoken or written words.
Anything ambiguous or hard to clearly define is automatically interpreted in the most negative light.

They come across too much like domineering metaphorical godparents, the kind who think their offspring to be mindless drones, eternally naive and unaware, sure to go astray without strong punitive discipline and constant direction and correction.
Power-tripping reformers, constantly punishing or correcting those below them.

I don't believe in evolution:
The theory is too dependent on capricious crap-shoot scenarios and improbable happenstance.
And it doesn't explain the orderly patterns in nature and the universe, obviously the results of a deliberate following-through of some kind of cosmic "blueprint" on the part of whatever's in charge of all that exists.

And I don't have any religious beliefs either:
I don't like any religions.  They all comprise too many dogmatic beliefs, artificial perfunctory rituals, and myopically simple-minded assumptions about the spirit realm.

One should approach any subject the same way one would approach electricity
...in that it's essential to know exactly what it is you're dealing with---its substance, what it's all about---so as to be able to know how to render said subject the proper respect it is due.

                Societies are like the proverbial abusive parents:
They fulfill their moral duties to clinically instill proper instructions into the minds of their offspring---like "Show proper respect and consideration for others" and "Be sensitive to the feelings and needs of others"
...but treat said offspring like shit and speak down to them condescendingly, slightingly, and degradingly.

This is why we still "owe others respect", even if they behave insultingly toward us
...or why "empathy" is expected of us, even though we live in a "dog-eat-dog" world, where others are either constantly trying to "hustle us" or are so callous and insensitive toward us they "wouldn't piss on us even if we were on fire".
