Criminals are notorious for LACKING said morals.
Emotionalism also factors in. This is all common sense. People are sad when people die. Why? Because it reminds them of their own mortality and also we have empathy.Your reasoning should tell you that since you dont want to die(instinct), that its wrong to unjustly kill others (murder)because if that is morally acceptable, you subject yourself to a much greater risk of fatality....
If that's the only motivation then it is not morality.
Our fear of death = our understanding of another's same fear of death = wrong to kill them based on all of the above.

If you could kill an innocent, vulnerable person with absolute certainty that there would be no physical or financial repercussions for yourself - and perhaps even a bit of a benefit - would you do it?
But you cut out commentary which supported it, and then called it unsupported.Thats a cut quote.Murder is wrong because humans have reasoned that the best means to surviving is to cohabitate. ....
That statement contains two propositions you have not proven.
That's the part I wanted to address.

You may take that as an indication that said commentary failed to prove the propositions in question.

And from whence comes this empathy? All these digressions merely avoid the fundamental question.

Empathy is likely an evolutionary tool to protect the reproduction of your family - by protecting THEM.

I suggest a reading of The Golden Bough. You'll know where all the 'beliefs' and rituals in the human race came from, including the current major religions.
Its a long read, not for the squeamish or lazy.

I have read it and most of it is speculative clap trap. It does not explain "all the beliefs and rituals in the human race or where they came from" because it was written at the turn of the 20th century. Since then, we have discovered all kinds of ancient civilizations where spirituality thrived. And we've had many things discovered about more recent religious rituals. The Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in 1946.

Nice try, you haven't read it. Amazing how the human mind can reject fact because reality is just too scary.
You need your mental crutch, knock yourself out. You believe in magic and an invisible father that will protect you like when you were a child. And if you don't believe in him he will torture you in horrible pain for all of time...but he loves you.
LOL wtf kind of nightmarish sadomasochistic master/slave relationship is that.
Now git off'n that 'puter and git on yer knees.

Well, I had to read it in college, I took Comparative Religious Studies. My roommate actually did his thesis on it. Like I said... it was written at the turn of the 20th century, it is outdated information and most of it was bunk anyway. As is most of the chitter-chatter from you godless nitwits.
I don't have a mental crutch, I don't believe in magic, don't know about invisible fathers or torture or love... Those are all things you are projecting onto me because you are an anti-Christian bigot. I am a Spiritualist who believes in a Spiritual God or Spiritual Nature.
Hes a troll man, pay him no mind hes just out to argue and be contrarian, not have engaging and cordial discussion but instead to promote his own goofy agenda.I suggest a reading of The Golden Bough.

I know you haven't read it. Its easy to spot someone who is an 'internet' poster. Short, dismissive answers re very complex and lengthy subjects are a sure clue.
Einstein came up with the theory of relativity at the beginning of the 20th century, I'm guessing you dismiss that as well. Or maybe quantum physics.
Not interested in discussion with you, feel free to troll at your hearts content. There are plenty here who also think their half-sentence statements are manna from heaven. LOL
Carry on Copernicus.
Hes a troll man, pay him no mind...
