You mention the laws we have. How were those laws formed? Based on what principles? If they are based on principles you don't believe in, why adhere to them or be forced to adhere to them?

If there is truly no one to hold us accountable for our actions, then ultimately there is no good or bad. Instead of doing things that are pleasing to God, we only seek to please ourselves.

I think it's great that we are all being civil on this thread, so I don't mean to be, well, mean.  But I feel like some of the posters on this thread (or maybe it's just one) are being intentionally obtuse.

I don't know how many times we can repeat the same, simple, logical answers to these questions that you want to make difficult.

We don't need to be forced to be good.  We choose to adhere to &quot;do no harm&quot; because it feels good, it feels right.

We've already told you how the rules in a cooperative society evolve, and why.

We've already told you that we don't need anyone outside of ourselves to hold us accountable.  WE don't need a &quot;higher power&quot; to &quot;make&quot; us be good.  The higher power is my conscience.

We've already explained where a conscience comes from.

It seems as if you are just belaboring this for no good reason.  [/quote]
