I read a certain Herman Hesse book once, maybe twice.

Do I know about Buddha now?

Immorality? What is that?

How can there be immorality in a jungle where only the "fittest" can or will survive?

Are lions immoral for being predators of gazelles?

What is this a PETA thread or something?

If it told you why he didn't live immorally while not being a theist, then you learned something.

Immorality? What is that?

At a minimum, not living by the laws of the group, which is usually punishable by exile or death.

How can there be immorality in a jungle where only the "fittest" can or will survive?

It's the survival of the fittest species, not the fittest individual. And individualism doesn't always lead to survival of the species.

Do you not think humans have more of a reason to live over other species?

Are lions immoral for being predators of gazelles?

How could it possibly be immoral for a carnivore to feed?
