Oh ya. And I see you just posted a good thought starter about where morality
comes from, etc.
I don't speak for all atheists. I don't speak for all libertarians.
(technically I'm not even atheist, actually... I'm atheist leaning agnostic)
But my world view has a small set of proscribed behaviours, all of which
revolve around not violating the rights of others, and lots of things that
it takes no position on
Nowhere in these proscribed behaviours is there anything about innies or
outies or where to put them, or who can or can't make contracts about
putting innies in other innies.
Christian morality is much more circumscribing. (I almost said circumsizing,
which would be wrong)

Oh ya. In spades! <grin>
