<font color="red"> Why shouldn't someone commit murder if he wants to and can get away with it? </font>

Who says he shouldn't? Who says there is no such thing as justifiable murder?

The real question is, why would he want to? Are you suggesting that being an atheist should make you want to be become a murderer?

If a theist doesn't kill because because of his fear of God, and an atheist doesn't kill because he is not so inclined, who is purer of heart?

You are missing the point he is making. It is a rhetorical question that implies that someone cannot reasonably claim murder is wrong while at the same time believing chance is ultimate. It is not saying you should or shoudn't be a murderer.

You can make laws against behavior w/o having to make an absolute assessment -- every legistlature in the land does this every day. So enough of the implying "no God, no laws".
