Murder is one of those moral absolutes that Christians pretend don't exist without God.

You didn't answer the queation. I'm asking you on what basis is murder wrong for an atheist.

If a fellow traveler believes that the prime directive is his self aggarndisement, preservation and continuance of his gene pool, on what basis do you say he is wrong?

And as an adjunct, if rights are not granted by the creator and are unalienable, then rights are derived from observation and logic by man and are fungible depending on who is do the observing and logic analysis, no?

Atheists aren't used to being confronted like that...no offense laredo, but there's really no non-arbitrary atheistic answer to this question.

Murder is wrong for an atheist because it is wrong. Any atheist that denies he or she indulges in leaps of faith is lying to you, or not very thoughtful. And there you have it, as one who has given it some thought because I was confronted by the same question, and resolved it to my satisfaction, about 30 years ago.
