re: #23 Political Atheist

As I said above, the morality is that it is immoral to deprive a person of their right to live, keep their stuff, have the right to refuse sex, etc etc.

Then you’re just claiming that all crimes are really an offense against morality, which would make Scalia’s statement absolutely nonsensical.

I do not think of morals as applying only to matters of sex. It’s immoral to steal a persons money.

But the reason we legislate against that is not because it’s immoral, but because it violates their rights.
