Remember, atheists rely only on evidence. What scientific proof do you have that you shouldn't hurt others?

Probably not, but I might also want to steal my neighbor's car. I might want not to get caught by the police; I might want to kill or intimidate any witnesses into remaining silent.

And what does it matter what I would like to happen to myself?

Loving the amount of JAQing off that's going on here. Is it possible for you to write a sentence without asking a question?
