Re: How offensive is that...
Only people who are using an abstract standard have morals.
What's the standard?
Does a hungry or horny lion have morals?
Care for the kids, kill the impalas.
Hyenas - my kids are hungry, steal from the lions.
Bacteria - I reproduce therefore I am - eat the hyenas.
Implicit in all "moral" behavior is the idea of God - atheists are believers with turned backs. God is behind me, see no evil.
