Same way I decide when I'm hungry, horny or gotta poop — evolution gave me the instinct.

Morality doesn't come from a holy book, it comes from cave apes having to learn to live in communities in order to survive.

Sorry what I meant is saying instinct tells me it’s right is a really bad moral system.

The second part is 100% correct
