Guys: Would you ever rape and murder a girl?

[paulpablo]

Over the course of this year, I have lost faith that a god exists because of insufficient evidence and applying my skepticism to my religion that I followed for so many years. But I have a problem... I was talking to my two cousins and they were saying how they would rape and murder a girl and dispose of her. (They are atheists as well) I've been thinking a lot recently about this. Since I'm an atheist now, I'm starting to feel like raping and murdering a girl isn't necessarily
"wrong". Fellow atheists: Is this truly "wrong". And if so, how is it wrong?  Atheists, would you do something like this? Why or why not, please explain...

Is it truly wrong to rape then murder someone?  Yes except maybe in some arguable circumstances.
Say if you rape someone due to them being under the age of consent, you didn't know their true age, then they tried, for whatever reason, to  make your life a living hell in which case maybe you could argue that it would be a murder committed as a crime of passion or some sort of form of self defence but you got convicted of murder.

Why is it wrong?  Because rape and murder are evil, if you had been raised by good parents who instilled a sense of empathy within you then you would know this without having to ask it in a forum or being told it by an ancient book.

Would I rape and murder someone?
There's absolutely no reason for me to rape and murder someone, even if I couldn't get sex via standard attraction and I had no morals I would simply pay a prostitute, if I wanted rough violent rape sex I would pay the prostitute extra for some role play.

So now I have to ask you.... why do say at the start of the post you have a problem?  From your perspective what is your problem now?  You've decided that it's reasonable to kill and rape a girl so why is there a problem if there's nothing wrong with that?  From your perspective there would only be a problem unless you've decided that there is something wrong with doing it.
It's like if I decided that I want to masturbate daily and I've reasoned there's nothing wrong with it.  I wouldn't start a thread claiming that it's a problem if I've already used all my reasoning and rational thought processes to decide that it's not wrong at all.
It's like your saying "hey I've got a big problem, I've decided that there's nothing wrong with doing this certain action and it's completely fine."
Just by the fact you're acknowledging there is a problem, I'm guessing that you know raping and murder is wrong on at least some level. At the very least on the level that it's wrong in a legal sense that you're going against someone else's human rights.
