Are you telling me that the only reason you don’t commit murder is because society deemed it’s wrong?

Um, did you not even read my answer? The reason I don't commit murder isn't because society says it's wrong, but because
I say it's wrong, without blind declarations from God, society, or family. I said that I answer to society (et al) for my actions (after the question of "who do you answer to morally"). Don't put words in my mouth to try and justify some petty argument you may have developed for me. If you say that you know murder is wrong because of your belief in god, and not because you intrinsically realize yourself how "wrong" it is, then yes, your mental acuity must be lacking. Maybe me saying that I just know murder is wrong is unacceptable to you, but it is no different than the statement that one just "knows" god exists.
And again, it is evolutionarily advantageous to deem murder unacceptable. Was my previous post unclear how, we being social animals, struggle with resources when we're isolated?
