I push Carl out of the way, because he's in my fantasy football league.
I post on atheistforums.org, because I'm bored.  

Where is the necessity for good and evil, or right and wrong?  Why would you even think to include good and evil or right and wrong? 

Do you believe the inconvenience of losing a player from my fantasy football league would make me not pushing Carl out of the way Evil?

I don't know.  I don't see any necessity in describing any of those actions as right or wrong.  I don't include good or evil in those scenarios.  

No, I couldn't say that I believed that.

We can choose to either help Carl, or not...and because we are moral actors, this would be an issue of morality. - You

Morality is "the extent to which an action is right or wrong." - google - brakeman

I don't understand how the bolded parts fit together.
