Quote by: Prometheus
It seems to me, that there is not reason to keep any kind of law if you can get away with it if you are an atheist. Lets say that you could gain a great deal of money from killing someone, and are garenteed not to get caught. What keeps you from killing?
Assuming it were a complete stranger, nothing would keep me from killing, except maybe empathy. Of course, the moral is equal to the practical. And in practical terms, your situation is impossible.
