What rule book?
The book of immutable morals you mistakenly think you've justified in your little treatise.

Then you'd have no cause to complain if someone steals from you or kills you.
Complaining wouldn't be high on my list of priorities if I was being robbed or attacked. That doesn't mean I wouldn't take any action. It just means whining in self-righteous indignation wouldn't be one of them. If anyone comes creeping through a window I would know for certain that their values did not align with mine so I would have to find some other criteria to make them desist other than reasoned argument. What would you do, talk them to death?
But enough. Clearly we do not agree on morality, atheism or probably much of anything else. To you I lack any morality at all. To me you are a self-satisfied prig who believes he has perfect insight into others even while lacking any insight into himself. You obviously enjoy debate for its own sake. So I leave you to it.
