You might as well accuse me of the same thing. My life has been relatively simple and uneventful, and so this is a philosophical and theoretical discussion for me. I apologize and sympathize to anyone for which this is real - I mean no offense or disrespect.

That said, if my belief is that we are animals, that there is no 'spiritual' world, then that surely colours my view of good and evil. It's not to say that I'm right, but it's what I believe, and what I believe can be born out by the evidence.

Not sure what else to say.
