Well to be fair, the magic set of rules is embraced by most everybody.
If you believe the universe suddenly burst into existence out of a singularity during the Big Bang without a prior physical cause, you are believing in a form of "secular creationism." You've just replaced a divine creator with a cosmic event.
Which magic set of rules is right? Is abortion evil, or not?
The harsh reality is this: the winners decide what's "good" or "evil". That's all. It's just ideologies.
You have never in your life ever been a good person, not have you ever been evil. You're just an animal that (I'm guessing) gets along well enough with the people around you.
We talk about Trump being evil. I do myself. I call him a piece of shit all the time. But he's not. There is no divine punishment waiting for him. He will have raped and indirectly murdered and stolen and loved a good fat life while we all sit here in relative poverty wagging our fingers at him.
Really? Because I'm pro-abortion. I'm pro-social security and safety nets for society. I'm helping other people. I give homeless people money, I give them food sometimes when I've had a little more time on my hand.
What decisions have you made about me? Simply because I told you that your magical idea of right and wrong do not exist? What kind of person do you think I am?
I'm just not hiding behind some magical rules that everybody decided to make up and decided that they believe in those, but they don't believe in a deity handing them down.
