I meant no insult. I don't even see where I provided one.

Let me repost your response. You associated me with all the evil in the world. I really like that "imagine the worst case" part.

I have heard that before and understand it. Imagine someone who knows this argument, understands it, accepts it. Furthermore this person thinks religion is bunk, that there is no god, no afterlife, no final judgment, etc. Perhaps this person imagines himself to be highly intelligent, sophisticated, (pats self on back) and is beyond being fooled by the morality of people he considers religious cultists (pats self on back again). This person is in a position of power. You might imagine Bill Clinton, or Mao Tse Dung, Idi Amin, or some other person of great power. Try imagining your worst case. I don’t see why the person that I have described would refrain from taking what he wants.
