Question for Atheists

[Kromoh]

padraic, I don't think what you're saying is morality - much to the contrary. Morality and ethics are like a reasoned explanation as to why one should not have only self-interest in mind, searching for their own benefit at whatever cost. To act according to ethics just because they're socially consented is actually to act antiethically. However, if it is your world view that you should care only about yourself, alright, but you're not to be considered an ethical person.

Take the Kamikaze for example. They weren't doing it for personal gain, nor for recognition (another form of personal gain), they were doing it for another gain, in this case what they thought to be a greater gain than their own gain.
