Irrational
Because morals are about cooperation and harmony with others, and about enhancing one's self. Why does everything have to be God or accountability when it comes to espousing morals?
Even if you believe God does not exist, do you still feel sorry for your bad actions or bad thoughts? No, because there are no consequences to them, which means you don't want to be accountable for them. I am not talking about extreme immoral behavior like murder or rape, etc. There are laws for that. I am talking about behavior where society has not put laws in place, like adultery, etc. Actions that can hurt someone (verbal/emotional) but really you are not going to be punished by the legal system. Do you feel sorry? How do you repent? An apology does not suffice !!
