Correction: if atheists are right, he would have no objective reason not run around murdering people for their lunch money.
Correction: if atheists are right, he would have no imagined objective reason not to run around murdering people for their lunch money.
So: if atheists are wrong, he would have a imagined objective reason not to run around murdering for lunch money?
Regardless of atheists, he'll be the person he is regardless of what he imagines.

That non-response is sumthin' I'd expect from DAM, not you. You're a hippy, but you're not stupid.
Hey, that's the response I felt like giving you because I didn't think your question was particularly interesting or sensible. Even if there's a god, I.C.'s reasons for not murdering people can be based on his own imaginary objective reason -- whereas other people (theist or non-theist) may just know they don't want to murder people. Nobody needs a god to tell them that. The whole idea of an objective reason is imagined.

...so if you wanna recast subjective as imaginary objective I guess you can.

Whatever, Henry. I was following the flow and spirit of the posts.
