      That isn't an argument. He's asking you morally, why in a world with no objective morality is murder wrong? Explain to me theoretically why murdering someone for any amount of monetary gain is a negative thing ( assuming 100% no chance of being caught )?

            I could argue god exists because of subjective beauty in numbers like the golden ratio, astral projection and psychedelic breakthroughs, the fact ancient sites form a perfect ring around the equator, universal repeating patterns, 3s 6s 9s, all kinds of schizoid shit from observing the world, I'm not opposed to god's existence, I'm opposed to the bible's depiction, which seems more like man projecting his will as coming from the divine instead of his own interests, mainly raping and waring despite writing all these holy books of virtue and grace during all of it, the bible itself is a collection of books with authors who would greatly disagree with the new testament authors, it's not the handiwork of god but Jesus is certainly a figure whose morals we should follow. I would argue god is metaphysical given the uniformity of the universe and how recently we discovered neurons map the world in a torus shape, it points to the fact that models of reality despite being the result of natural laws are too perfect to have this much cogency given what we know about entropic systems, this leads to boltzmann brain thought experiments and other angelic schizo shit, there is plenty of evidence outside scripture

You say it like cooperation always yields some decent benefit to a particulant, but it's simply not true.

    >no religious bs answers
    Morality is a superstition even if it is not part of any specific religion. Morality is ultimately an irrational sacrifice. You are behaving irrationally against your own self-interest.

    You are not an angel. Have you never been tempted to steal knowing there are no consequences to your actions? Have you never been tempted to hit someone? You are human, you have been. If you had a fricked up upbringing, murder might also be on the cards. If murder benefits you in some way, emotionally, financially or otherwise, and there are no consequences to your actions, then the only thing left is a superstitious belief in morality.

        >acting upon your first instincts and having empathy
        This was already addressed in my post. Maybe I should have made it clearer.

        >If murder benefits you in some way, emotionally, financially or otherwise

        By "no consequences" I mean none whatsoever, none materially but also none related to emotions, instincts or any emotions coaxing you into having empathy (or more accurately sympathy).

        >empathy benefits groups
        We are not in our natural habitat, any benefit of these emotions we evolved as small family groups of hunter gatherers do not apply to complete strangers in the big wide world, there are many situations where overriding empathy or otherwise is to your advantage and often people lack empathy to begin with due to a fricked up upbringing or deliberate coping mechanisms.

        >empathy isn't emotional
        Then there must be an objective reason for it, besides trusting "gut instinct" because it is how you evolved, as explained in the last paragraph. If so, then you have found the holy grail of "objectivity morality".

    We evolved an emotional response to it in order to increase inclusive fitness. It's not objectively wrong but we should act as though it is. Invoking a magic space wizard doesn't make morality objective because you have to say where the magic space wizard gets his morality from. If it's just a fiat then it's not wrong, just an arbitrary rule. If the magic space wizard condemned it because it's morally wrong then moral standards are independent of the space wizard which undermines the claim that morality can only be objective if there's a magic space wizard.

            I'm not talking about Americans or Europeans who separated state from religion. I'm talking about conversions. Vikings were pacified with Christianity, so were the native Americans, papuans, Africans, etc. Europeans and Americans are violent because they separated church from state and can therefore justify being violent. The Crusades were a reaction to losing territory. Other religions like Islam actively wage war to convert others. Hindus kill Muslims and destroy budhhist statues. Buddhism in Japan doesn't discourage a Daimyo from invading a neighboring province for wealth, etc.

          Pretty sure your parents had already instilled in you a fear of violence. If you had grown up around Vikings, they would have encouraged violence and even told you stories about violent Gods doing violent things, etc. You may feel horror, but it can redirected to something else. For instance, feeling horror that your failure to kill led to the destruction of your tribe or family. You can be made to feel guilty for almost anything when you are that young.

    Wrong? In an athiestic framework? A framework in which right and wrong can necessarily only be subjective preference?
    The consequentialist argument for determining morality cannot work, life is to complex to know if your action will actually lead to a positive or negative outcome.
    Even if you could know the outcome of an action, there's still no justification to take the positive outcome over the negative besides personal preference. If you're just in the mood for destruction, that's just as valid as wanting prosperity.
    The only logically sound argument for morality requires something that can determine what good and bad are, free of our limitations. So, with your stipulation of no religious bs answers, there's no reason outside of personal preference to think that killing is necessarily wrong.

    Yes, atheism is a belief system. Atheism isn't the lack of religious conviction, that's agnosticism. Agnostics acknowledge that religious beliefs may or may not be true but don't make assumptions either way. Atheists actively believe and assert that no religions are are true. If all you do in your spare time is willfully, actively avoid all hobbies, you may not like it being called a hobby but it's not inaccurate.

      It's a belief, yes, but the problem is specifically "belief system" as that implies a kind of formulaic method of living. There isn't one. If you don't believe in God, it effects nothing at all in the scheme of your life.

        Which it is. Atheism isn't just not believing in God, it's actively choosing not to believe in God. A person who has never considered the concept of God is an agnostic, not an atheist.

        I'll write one for you, hopefully you can find a smart person to read it to you:

        >All people who claim to have met God or had a near death experience and gone to heaven are mistaken or lying

          those are just opinions that atheists could/could not hold. stop trying to build up this strawman like there's some organized atheist congregation like the catholic church. i know you really want to because you don't do anything else with your free time other than seethe over things you hate.

            The first one yes but second no, that's not a defining belief of protestantism.

            Because i don't have autism and life isn't a team sport.

            Then I hope you won't be too offended if I call you an agnostic rather than an atheist.

            These are beliefs that athiests necessarily have, not some may some may not. Saying we can't know if there is a god or not makes them agnostic, the athiest states there is no god or they are not an athiest.

      Agnosticism is a form of atheism. Atheism is a big tent for all non-believers.

      Belief 1: There is no such thing as a god
      Belief 2: people worshiping gods are worshiping nothing
      Belief 3: morality does not come from a god
      Belief 4: the weather is not controlled by a god

      It is not required to believe there is no god to be an atheist. You simply have to not believe there is one.
      >the weather is not controlled by a god
      You believe it is? What a moron.

    In certain contexts, murder is not wrong such as self defense.
    However, you're obviously referring to murder with, more or less, little to no purpose. Its wrong because murder is generally not a beneficial behavior, the other anon made a good argument about cooperation.
    You argued about 'muh resources', not everyone has resources worth taking, do you really expect much useful from a homeless man? A rich person has more resources than you, which probably also means they have more power than you. 'Muh resources' is such a pathetic attempt to excuse barbarism because you do so with no strategy or thought into it taking what you can get even if it may not be useful to you.

    If you attempt to murder others, you also make our society slightly less safe when you could've participated and gotten more resources that way.

      Define beneficial? A samurai's honor was beneficial to him and his lord and he killed others to protect it. You can create almost any justification for murder if you are afraid of something.

        >generally not a beneficial behavior
        >generally
        What part of generally don't you understand? I already stated that there are instances in which it can be useful. The cultural values of Japan would be different than others, so they may have different standards as to when its not acceptable.
        But let's be real, you weren't talking about defending any honor. Your argument was about murder for the sake of murder, and murder for the sake of murder will usually hurt you more than help you
        >you can create almost any justification for murder if you are afraid of something
        No, you can't. The public will judge that. Not you. You can and will be punished accordingly for it. Generally 'self defense' when there was no real threat is frowned upon, but the debate of what counts as self defense is a whole other can of worms.
        >Beneficial: Something done for ones own benefit, wants, or needs.
        Most 'beneficial' things you could do with murder can be accomplished without murder, which generally carries a lot of negative weight to it.

      Do you have an actual argument? Why should an individual care about social anything if they have something to gain for committing the action, once again assuming no risk of being caught. There isn't one.

        Because it’s in their nature as a human to care moron. Humans get the most joy from benefitting others and having good relationships. That means having a good society too. Murder is illegal because all humans agreed to make it illegal, that alone is proof that people care no matter what bullshit you make up about how it’s actually best to be selfish.

    Might makes right. YOU aren't allowed to, and its because someone mightier than you will stop you.
    Right or wrong the very same are why someone mightier than you does not do as THEY please.
    "Right" is about consequences and optics, like how you don't have the perspective to see your place in the pecking order. When you can enforce it but don't even have to because no-one will question your authority beyond a 'debate'... Then you can decide what is "wrong", until then its simply because your betters told you so.
