This guy gets it xD
I don't believe life is unimportant, I think that the fact that life is so rare and complex makes it special, beautiful really. Also, while I do not have set rules of what "morality" is like theists do, I do believe that the ultimate purpose of life is to continue life, and therefore, such qualities as sadistic tendencies and the desire to kill are slowly weeded out through a form of natural selection, albeit on the scale of life itself instead of individual species. If anything, my views are
more optimistic than a theist, because theists believe life is the only random thing in the universe and therefore life can be either completely good or completely evil, whereas I believe that life has a larger probability of being "good" (as in promoting life), and therefore the Law of Large Numbers states that after enough experiments, the amount of life that promotes other life will be far greater than that which does not.
TL:DR We will condemn murderers/rapists/terrorists because they go against life's natural state, and through this process, over billions of years, we will be left with beings with no desire to cause harm to other life.
