Atheism and morality

[Rahul]

You're probably one of those people who thinks vegetarianism is immoral because Hitler was one.

Thanks for the snide insult. How old are you? 14?

Answer the question: does he have any reason not to disembowel the prostitute?

Yes. Absolutely. It goes against his natural instincts as a social animal. It means he's a sociopath and a cancer among the human race.

Then answer this question: is it wrong for him to disembowel the prostitute?

Of course. Causing pain and misery is always wrong.

Then answer this question: if it is wrong to do something do you have reason not to do it?

Of course. Because I have to live with myself. And I'm my own worst critic.

I am the one person I can not avoid. And if I'm a bad person my own internal conscience will torment me with that. My opinion of myself will drop into the gutter. My feeling of self-worth will be non-existent.

And I don't need some stone age god myth to create something in me that I was born with.
