Sinning, as Jesus and the church say, is good. Turn or burn Christians.

Whether they can and whether they know that, different beasts entirely, but look at us negotiating over whether or not cheating makes more sense based on how we might or might not win.   You could repeat the "why do we as people do this bad dumb thing that we do" ad infinitum - one answer to that question, is sin.  

Quote:How does one hurt oneself by winning, even if the win includes cheating?
A moral system concerns itself with moral harms.

Quote:Getting caught is the only problem.
That would only be coherent with an immoral or amoral system.

Quote:Evolution has us default to the good, cooperation, as that is the best survival technique. We win by making friends. The fittest will have the most friends as far as our DNA knows.

That's not how any of that works, and this amounts to another strange belief that you have.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
