But how is that morality? In a godless universe why would reason lead you to restraint at all? It didn't lead that Nazis that way.

Rational self-interest.

I cannot claim the protections of a moral code I am unwilling to engage in myself.

In order to claim the moral imperative to live free of initiated force, I must afford others the same opportunity.
