Ah, yes. It is amazing, the differences.

Interesting thread about hedonism...the very thing that Barbara and Brenda spoke about.

Of particular interest is the part where they talk about "familial relationships".

What’s true about murder goes double for human sexuality and familial relationships. If there is no God, soul, or afterlife, all that’s left, as Wiker’s subtitle tells us, is hedonism. In a world that is amoral, how we should live becomes a matter of "continually balancing bodily pleasures and pains." Morality and the distinction between good and evil are purely human creations with no intrinsic authority.
