Moral relativism-why is killing Bad?

[Roy]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with killing anything, for any reason. Where exactly in the universe does it say we shouldn't, or it cares if we do or don't? It's completely relative. If you are the one killing and it benefits your survival, from your POV it's good and great! From the others that suffer, it's evil and bad!

Put yourself in the perspective of the Nazis by pretending to be them, I mean REALLY imagine it. How do you think they were able to do what they did?

Precisely because they thought what they were doing was good, because it benefits them and their ability to survive.

What we call traditional "morality" is nothing more than a collective social consensus that we all imagine and choose to agree on and participate in. If your survival agenda operates outside of this then it literally doesn't exist for you, you simply have your own consensus.

In an absurd hypothetical if we all collectively agreed 100% as a society tomorrow that it would be ethical and better for humanity to euthanize all mentally or physically handicapped people, it would literally become good.

There is no exterior higher authority or arbiter that says we shouldn't or can't (unless you imagine one of course). From the universes POV it makes no difference what happens.

You kill millions of living sperms every time you jerk off only for the experience and pleasure, you selfish devil.

You will use this to further your belief of a ruthless and cutthroat existence. 
 

An existence of pure selfishness.

Another reason not to commit murder etc is karma, if you live by the sword dont be surprised if you die by it. What you send out into the world might come back to you...

Not to mention if humans kill each other and everything else then there won't be any life left on earth to discuss such wild ideas, or even just the basic need to reproduce if we're supposed to have someone to talk to...
