How am I missing the point? The discussion seems to be wrapped up around several things including accountability, for one and death for another.
You're just being mean now.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come across that way, the point I was trying to make is that spiritual people in general believe they are accountable for their actions to a higher power.

Not to say you don't have morals, you were just privileged to be brought up in a society governed by law and order. If for some reason an apocalypse happened and it's everyman for himself, do you hold onto what you deem moral? After all, when it comes to survival, who's to say what's moral? Is it immoral for a lion to kill a gazelle? why then would you consider it immoral to kill to ensure your own survival?

isn't that just survival of the fittest?

If you believe we evolved from the animals, then it was always intended for the weak to be rooted out.

Which means if you think you'll remain moral during an apocalypse, then you'll be among it's first victims.

Also
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment
Quote:The Milgram experiment on obedience to authority figures was a series of social psychology experiments conducted by Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram. They measured the willingness of study participants to obey an authority figure who instructed them to perform acts conflicting with their personal conscience
In this example, it doesn't take an apocalypse for people to abandon their morals.
