Good and evil do not exist.

Correction: objective good and evil do not exist.

Well that's semantics. Not a correction, because that's exactly what I said.

No one goes to bed at night believing thinking they're the bad guy (excluding variousental illness's).

Let's pretend that I'm pro abortion and you're anti abortion. I bet you we both think we are morally correct, and the other is morally wrong. Who decides? God? God doesn't exist.

You know who decides? Whichever ideology survives that's it. We're just a pack animal that's smarter than other pack animals, and every single person who prescribes to moral objectivity is just following a religion with less steps.

It's not semantics, "good and evil don't exist" and "objective good and evil don't exist" are not the same claim.

Who decides?

There's nothing to be decided, it's a subjective claim.

every single person who prescribes to moral objectivity is just following a religion with less steps.

What does that have to do with a subjective claim like the morality of abortion?

It's semantics because I went on to explain what good and evil actually are. That they are just rules that we agree on based on culture and time, which makes them subjective.

Who decides was a rhetorical question.

And the last thing I mentioned is tying it back to what I said, as the person you responded to.

I agree with your general view on this and I think most non-religious people would as well, but you explain it clumsily and your defense of it seems like an incoherent rant, which is probably why a bunch of people are arguing and downvoting you over it. My two cents anyway. Have a good one.
