Have to say I'm not feeling that one (my bolded) at all.  It can follow to ask about morality but I see no reason at all why it should.

I find most thinking about morality to be masturbatory.  Unless one struggles to stifle antisocial impulses why worry about it?  For theists there is the thought of currying the favor of their creator.  Getting a gold star for their existence.  But from a godless perspective and assuming one is dispositionally oriented in prosocial ways, I just don't see why anyone would spend so much time mapping out the relative moral worth of every conceivable action or justifying those choices.  That just seems like the intellect's attempt to gather to itself an experience which is intrinsically feeling based.
