Message: I dont need an imaginary super powered friend to tell me it's wrong to harm others or their property for my own benefit. My common sense tell me that is just wrong. If your are a halfway average human being, you have a certain amount of reason and empathy that keeps you from harming others. Reason because you need to understand that your actions are harming others and empathy to feel the same way the others feel if you are harming them. Those two things are completely sufficient to be a decent human being, because they are hard-wired in your brain. They don’t work properly 100% of the time, but every average human being has them. No imaginary god is necessary here.
