Fully 80 percent of existing moral codes today are defunct, and yet they’re still in force. They have lost any reason for being, but they’re still in force. And people recognize that these are no longer valid rules of conduct and say, “Why should we have anything to do with them?” But the second they say this, somebody tells them that something awful will happen to them and that they are now immoral and that society will have nothing to do with them whatsoever because they have broken this moral code. Nonsense! But it actually makes people bad. The end result of an arbitrary code is to make people bad, make them antisocial.
