Our molecular make-up, divinely inspired or not, isn't where morality comes from. As has been pointed out numerous times in history, if free will didn't exist, we really ought to pretend that it does. |
I'm talking about no consequence in the big scheme of things; like, once we're dead; we're dead and our lives wouldn't have mattered one way or another, had we ever existed or not.
