You can be moral without being religious, but your morality living in the West is informed by Christian precepts whether you want to admit it or not.
Irrelevant. As one need not say, adopt the concept of the Trinity to recognize that killing is wrong.
Really?
Let's try it.
For the sake of this discussion, the two of us are 'society', in its entirety. In our scenario, there is only us, no God, and no law except what I say the law is. I am therefore solely responsible for you.
Sadly, for you, I say that you represent an inconvenience to me. Your very presence offends me...
Now because your exist, I feel that I may not fit into my prom dress, by virtue of the effect you have on my gravity.
Now, I've decided that you are not a viable life, that you can't live outside of me and I possess the power to destroy you with you being helpless to do anything to stop me.
In this scenario, you lack the means to communicate, to defend yourself in any way... I am the decider.
IF you could speak however, I'd be interested in knowing ANY REASON, within the boundaries of the above scenario, that may preclude me from exercising my supreme power over you, and removing the inconvenience that is YOU from this reality.
