In my view there is no universal morality, one which is true at all times and all places, for all people. There never has been, even for those who claim that morality is God-given.
The latter have been no more free of disputes, or of what you and I would call heinous acts, or or selfishness and self-righteousness than the rest of benighted humanity.
So why bother with it at all?
Sleep is for wimps!

Why does it matter what you and I would call heinous acts? It's not like our morality is true at all times and places, and according to their morality they were acting rightly. Besides, why do random collections of atoms have a moral status?
