Atheists only vote please: Do absolute MORAL truths exist? Is Rape ALWAYS "wrong"?

[Mudhammam]

You cut my quote right before I went on to say, "and still be engaged in rational inquiry..."

Can a person whose solution to anything is suicide be considered by the rest of us to offer a reasonable proposition for each of us to pursue, judging its reasonableness by its utility in how it advances our interests?

Well, there are cases in which I wouldn't want to live in like dying painfully slowly from incurable illness, post-apocalyptic scenarios, being enslaved, or being tortured nonstop. In such cases utility to be had isn't much to care about since the pain would outweigh pleasure and in death there is no pain.

I presumed we were talking about general circumstances and behaviors that we would or would not prescribe societies to tolerate on the basis of their effects on individual well-being. Obviously, suicide is debatable in scenarios where no better options are available, a condition not imposed on our debate.
