It's the age old argument of "if there is no God, how do we teach what is right or wrong?"

Yes we can teach morals and ethics without a creator in place. As Penn from Penn and Teller would put it. "I don't need the fear of eternal damnation to tell me that I shouldn't murder. I shouldn't murder because it's wrong".

I rape and murder as much as I want - I just don't want to.

"If the only thing keeping you from murdering and raping people is fear of punishment from god, then you are not a good person."
