Why not do it? Because we care? Are you saying that if you didn't believe in God...you wouldn't care?
If there are no objective morals, as I don't believe there are, and no God, as I don't believe there is: Then I still care about people, because thankfully, I'm a caring person.
Yes, why not do it if you can get away with it (if you can benefit from it). What if Jimbo is not built the way you are and what if he's had an unfair life in his own eyes? You said morality was subjective, so it would be fine if he didn't "care" like the boy with the silver spoon in his mouth (you).
You wouldn't want to punish someone who was doing something subjectively right would you?
