Well I think we’re running into a difference of terminology then here, what do you call actual right and wrong if you do not call it morality?
Quote: Rape leads to all sorts of problems - what purpose does rape have in any universe, atheistic or otherwise?
Are you saying that something that leads to problems and serves no purpose is absolutely wrong?
I do not know if there is an actual right or wrong. But certain actions, example - rape, have no justification across societies and borders. At least, none that I have seen yet, but there is much doubt in ever finding a halfway decent argument for rape.
And I am not saying anything is absolutely wrong. Is this action worth the damage? No? Don't do it. It's not even about right/wrong for me personally, so much as is there a good reason to do *insert action here*?
