: Not evangelizing here, but by what basis do you know it's wrong to kill? If there is no God, there is no right and wrong, because there is no "good" God and "evil" Satan to hold up as examples of right and wrong. So if you met someone who thought it was perfectly okay to murder, rape, etc., what basis would you use to prove him otherwise? : Again, this is covered in Buechner's definition, but not in the quote I gave above. : : : I also respect your ideas. I myself don't feel there are any consequences I have to face. I don't beleive in god. If I did believe in god then there would be consequences. And, I think its natural to have common sense and common morals. I don't need god or the bible to tell me its wrong to kill.
