such as Stephen Paddock, are far more to commit evil, such as the mass murder he perpetrated upon those victims, including their family & friends & countless others.

Ideas have consequences. One consequence of the idea that there is no god, that the universe just came into existence via natural laws of science... via an infinite amount of matter and energy that obeys and acts in conformity with those laws, is that there really is no objective moral law.

A boulder that rolls down a hill and crushes a house is not "evil" or "immoral". It is just a random collection of atoms that happened to follow the laws of nature... which happened to result in the rearranging of the atoms of that home full of people... who are also just a random collection of atoms.

This rearranging of atoms has occurred since the beginning of time... if there was a beginning... and will continue until the end of time... if there is an end.

How could anyone with such a worldview think that one random collection of atoms rearranging another random collection of atoms... while doing so because of the immutable laws of science, be considered "immoral"?

Do you believe in God?
