A boot stomping on a human baby's face is self-evidently evil.

Since you guys are plunging into the deep - here is a question I've been thinking about while riding on my John Deere and moving the lawn:

Can an atheist believe in (or define) good or/and evil?

Without a reference for good, without an eternal prognosis for an eternal soul, where does the objective reference for evil come from?

Not stated well, but maybe you'll get the question.

Nietzsche develops a fanciful mythology which posits "the good" in brute strength and cruelty (the Ubermensch).

This is a variation of a point of view advanced by the satirical sophistical character Thrasymachus in Plato's Republic who offers a "might is right" thesis. The "good" is in the triumph of the strong over the weak. Abortion is a little like that. Especially that motivated by eugenic ideas.
