Rational self-interest. So the nonbelievers think that right and wrong is defined by whatever they think is in their own self interest? That's interesting.
So killing someone to take their money in my own self interest is moral if I think so.
Kinda what I figured they thought.
Maybe I would get different answers at different times from different non believers.

Please note "rational self interest" does not equate to "selfishness." The ultimate definition of rational self interest would be the Golden Rule (which, by the way, is so self-evident it has been arrived at independently by numerous societies).

Is it in your rational self interest to become a murderer and a thief?
