"There are all sorts of duties that Humans have that have nothing to do with their personal values." Not in my book, chump. "Try not paying your taxes" I can choose not to. " (try) leaving a dog in a hot car with the widows rolled up" I could do that. I choose not to. I value living things. "We also have moral duties to other Human beings and to God" Your god is imaginary and we do not. Yes people can force certain actions from us on threat of pain or death. But how do you figure a gun is a duty? "Then we will slap your ass in jail you" Very few Free Thinkers go to jail. Most Free thinkers are honest and moral. It is superstitious idiocy that drives people to be immoral--either because they are acting in a self serving (but irrational and immoral ) way because superstition allows people to do virtually anything they wish, or they are acting in a self serving way because their superstition pretends they can be immoral without real consequences--provided they say some magic words before they die. In any event, no person owes your imaginary friend any duty. And I do not owe you the sweat off my balls. You are no Chosen Person to me. Just a pudgy windbag with shit for brains!
