Someone posted on a list I'm on today, about their personal morality.

I'm going to be perfectly honest. Without going into long detail. Why I don't do some things isn't based on my religious beliefs at all. I go with how I feel.

I don't murder because I don't want to go to jail. Not only that but I actually do feel bad for families who have lost loved ones to murder, and I know what that feels like. There have been people who have made me that angry, but I hold back. Usually those people are a waste anyway, not worth my time.

I don't rape because, well, honestly I'm a woman and I don't have to. Too many horny guys in the world. If I want it that bad I'm pretty sure I can get it.

Maiming is too time consuming.

And stealing to me is just ridiculous. If anyone has anything I want I'll just pick up some extra hours to have money to buy it. If I was really bad off and starving on the other hand, yeah I would steal.

it's not so much a matter of one's "imaginary friend", or religion, whatever...I know that atheism doesn't make one a criminal any more than religion makes one a good person.

She's saying that she wouldn't murder because she doesn't want to go to jail, she wouldn't maim because she thinks it would take so long...if her feelings are as shallow as she indicates, she doesn't commit crime because she doesn't want to be inconvenienced, and rapists are just guys that can't get lucky.

If the desire to not go to jail is enough to keep someone from hacking me to bits...well, that's great, however I think I'd prefer that they had some additional motivation. Because otherwise, that just says to me if the opportunity were there to do so without being found out, then they might just do it.
