Recognizing that serial killers operate with a different moral sense than most of us is no impediment to my way of thinking. Of course they do and I have no problem with exercising the force of law to prevent them from preying on the rest of us.
Looking back, I see nothing that would indicate I was speaking from emotion. Do you actually have a grasp on what is appropriate for a philosophy thread yourself? I took my degree in philosophy at university so I feel no compunction to express myself in a pretentious manner. Here's a pro tip for you: try harder to grasp and respond to what was actually said.
If you took philosophy and didn't see any flaws with an atheist view accounting for morality than what were you doing? Did the professors convince you?

So at the very least we can establish that you made such statements.

Why not?

No one ever said it did.

Prove it. Refute the rationale behind it.

You have no standard to judge any of this by.
Says who? I most certainly do have such a standard.

I originated from my parents. Your skull must be really thick if you felt the need to ask that.
Actually some "scientists" in the areas of historical science think life came from non life.
If thats the case then why does any mutation called "human" have any authority to impose morality on others. How can this blind faith account for morality? It can't.
Is there anyone in this thread that can help Genkaus out?
James Holmes acted consistent with what evolution teaches. He evolved from an animal, and when he murdered those people, He acted like one. You can't say he's wrong since evolution made him that way.
