"And what's wrong with going for a queen, instead of the ones who aren't ready?"

Excuse a bit of levity, but there are certainly problems if you are a bee.

"it will soon die because the reproductive organ and associated abdominal tissues are ripped from the drone's body as copulation occurs."

"Can we not experience disgust without it being a product of religious moralizing?"

I am 100% certain we can make moral judgements and promote moral values outside of any religious framework. And people can also choose to let their values be determined through obeisance to a particular religious dogma or leader.

I prefer values flowing from a rational base, and I distrust those developed in ancient thinking in prescientific (prerational) times.
