And the law is just legislating morality, saying that "killing is bad except for certain circumstances" - if there were no law against murder, then the popularity of killing would skyrocket and become even more moral.
Do you see the flaw in your reasoning yet, FF? If there is no objective moral standard and morals are based solely on how many people in a society think a behavior is "bad" or "good" then there is no reason why killing can't be moral.
I think you do realize your flawed reasoning and that is why you just make snide comments instead of actually defending your initial comment.
