You fucking asked for an evolutionary reason why killing would be immoral, and I gave you one. Just because it doesn't conform to your airy, magic version of morality and instead applies to real things happening in the real world, doesn't mean it's amoral.
It means you've been so addled by your biblical bullshit that you no longer have an understanding of what morality is.
Quote:I don't mean wrong in the sense of being harmful to survival, I mean wrong in the sense of morality. Why is one animal killing another animal wrong?
Morality is about the welfare of thinking beings; if it's not, what's the point of it? Don't bother going to god on this, because you asked me for an atheist moral claim, and to inject god into morality automatically would have made your question dishonest and redundant.
Besides, in your worldview, are god's moral pronouncements nothing more than his opinions, detached from reality, or do they serve some purpose for the people that are supposed to obey them? If it's the former, why should anyone care about them? If it's the latter, then those real effects can be determined with or without a god.
Quote:Making an argument that God is immoral without a standard of morality is an irrational argument. What is your standard of morality apart from the Christian God?
The real world, and the effects that our actions have upon other thinking beings.
