Why do I need a creator to believe that taking a human or non-human life is wrong?
Is the feeling I get when I hurt a friend or animal, guilt brought on by decades of
social integration here in the US? Or when I accidentally hit an animal with my car,
even a bug, do I realize the lost potential of that life. The actions it will never take
do to my actions. Perhaps that is why we loot and others don't. Beacuse we feel
we are not responsible to ourselves or our culture. Rather we are responsible to some
being which we have yet to have any real tie to. Faith makes us like children again.
We need not be responsible because God will forgive us. I am responsible to me
keep your God out of my life, my government, my family, and my future.
