I don't fear death

Really? So why do you cling to a life after death fairy tale?

Aren't we discussing a hypothetical situation in the first place? I'm under no illusions that If an apocalypse were to occur, people wouldn't be killing each other in the streets, to assume otherwise is just naive, i suppose, if you were desperate enough you also wouldn't resort to cannibalism?

Unlikely, people starve to death together all the time without taking a nibble. I'm not a cannibal now, can't see that changing. LOL, you know...the bad thing about solving a starvation problem with cannibalism..is that you might survive. :wink:

You ever watch the show The Walking Dead? (there's a point to this question)

Are you offering fiction as evidence of what may happen in a catastrophe?

Shouldn't surprise me I guess. You do claim a work of fiction as the source for absolute morality.

How about non-fiction then.

Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, also known as the Andes flight disaster and, in South America, as the Miracle of the Andes (El Milagro de los Andes) was a chartered flight carrying 45 people, including a rugby union team, their friends, family and associates, that crashed in the Andes on 13 October 1972. More than a quarter of the passengers died in the crash and several others quickly succumbed to cold and injury. Of the 27 who were alive a few days after the accident, another eight were killed by an avalanche that swept over their shelter in the wreckage. The last 16 survivors were rescued on 23 December 1972, more than two months after the crash.

The survivors had little food and no source of heat in the harsh conditions at over 3,600 metres (11,800 ft) altitude. Faced with starvation and radio news reports that the search for them had been abandoned, the survivors fed on the dead passengers who had been preserved in the snow. Rescuers did not learn of the survivors until 72 days after the crash when passengers Nando Parrado and Roberto Canessa, after a 10-day trek across the Andes, found Chilean arriero Sergio Catalán,[1] who gave them food and then alerted the authorities to the existence of the other survivors

Famous precisely because of the circumstance and rarity. I wasn't on that plane myself...so.....?

I prefer dry rub to saucy...

I prefer to die when my ticket at the deli counter of life is called. As for the accountability comment from another post...belief in a god has absolutely nothing to do with accountability. That's like saying that only religious people have morals.

It would seem someone missed the point.
