Mr. Camden-Britton:

>There are the interesting ideas of Utilitarian ethics, whereby activities

discouraged or halted. >For simple situations such as murder or theft, it

duty to not engage in these acts.

Non sequitor. Perhaps society may not be helped, but then, if there really
is no god at all, why should anyone bother to help society or worry about
morals ? We'll all be dead in a few decades anyways.

>solid foundations for leading a moral and beneficial life for all
concerned. Improving >the lot of one's fellow man is in one's own interest
due to the net gain for all >concerned.

But would you improve "the lot of one's fellow man" if it wasn't in your own
interest?
