I value friendship more than morality. If I really wanted to be moral the right thing to do might be to euthanize myself painlessly because I fuck things up more than I help matters. But fuck that I enjoy life too much and that's just weird and disturbing 
I'm confused. Consciousness is a potential for both morality and immorality and immorality vastly outweighs morality due to the asymmetry of sufffering and happiness.
Nonexistence is kind of moral by being less immoral. It's morally superior to not exist. It's also undesirable and unrealistic once you already exist and therefore not practically moral, only in theory
The problem is that the objective perspective becomes irrelevant as soon as you have people alive who want to live
Nonexistence doesn't get a say in the matter
I think what is most hilarious of all about this is that if God is truly perfect then IMO he wouldn't exist
