Its consistent to not believe in god yet believe that murder is wrong.

Can you prove to me that murder is wrong in a purely moral sense? Purely moral meaning without any attached social considerations. That is: yes, it's generally considered bad for society, by is it an act that can be considered "wrong?"

the concepts of wrong and right by definition could never be proved.

Haha. I hoped it would be obvious that this is what I'm trying to say. I wanted chezlaw to tell my why murder is wrong (without God, in particular), because he seems to think it is reasonable to think this.
So, chezlaw or anyone else, I'd like to see something that defends the belief that murder is "wrong" (in a strictly moral sense - no societal pragmatism) and that holding such a belief is rational.
