Just know that you're wrong.

That won't happen. And what would it matter to you anyway? Wrong? Right? No such thing. If someone killed your kid, it wouldn't matter in the end to you. It's just a neutral act.

Abortion is OK, genocide, euthanasia are neutral. Whores and saints all the same. Bank robbers are the same as charity workers in the end.

And this discussion never happened and it doesn't matter who's right or wrong, because there is no such thing.

This is how I know you are not only wrong, but seriously messed up in the head.

Of course our actions matter here, even if athiests believe they'll end up in nothingness. They still have to get to that place first, don't they? It's obvious to anyone that wanton killing, raping, and robbing is a detriment to society. Total chaos.

Common sense can tell you that, and you don't have believe in God to understand that it's wrong for your neighbor to come in and take what you have earned, or kill someone.

If for no other reason that materialistic, here and now reasons...having a code of ethics or morals helps everyone get along. Why is that so hard to understand? Self interest alone is reason enough for people to behave themselves and do right.

Er, genocide isn't neutral by Divine morality:

And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.
And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.
And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
--Numbers 31:12-18
