Darwin neatly summed up his view of ethics and morality in his Autobiography, stating that one who does not believe in God or an afterlife - as he did not - "can have for his rule of life, as far as I can see, only to follow those impulses and instincts which are strongest or which seem to him the best one."

Let's convert that to something concrete you can understand .... if you want to push your Aunt Tillie down the stairs to move up your inheritance, its okay because there are no absolute moral rules. Free to think and act without the constraints of bogus morality. Its the way freethinkers like Stalin and Pol Pot thought.

<This blows my mind.>

Yes, as it should... Brummboy thinks HE knows the absolute truth, as he's shown many times:

<<if you want to push your Aunt Tillie down the stairs to move up your inheritance, its okay because there are no absolute moral rules>>

FURTHER, he shows what kind of "impulses" HE has! LOL

Why don't you ask him what ABSOLUTE moral rules he's talking about!? He'll dual for about 4 posts, then run away when the truth comes out.

Same as it ever was.
