Buddhists still believe in a universal moral code.
Ethnologist Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf explained,
In Buddhist thinking the whole universe, men as well as gods, are subject to a reign of law. Every action, good or bad, has an inevitable and automatic effect in a long chain of causes, an effect which is independent of the will of any deity. Even though this may leave no room for the concept of ‘sin’ in the sense of an act of defiance against the authority of a personal god, Buddhists speak of ‘sin’ when referring to transgressions against the universal moral code.
If there is no God, then there’s no moral code, and no objective morality.
Ahh makes sense, you think that humans are evil and depraved - which is kind of telling on yourself. So maybe for you specifically it’s cool that there is a book explaining that murder is bad. Most people just need a bit of empathy to get such a complex idea.
We are evil and depraved. Don’t you see what we have done to this earth? And our moral compass has been ingrained in us since Eden. You don’t need to be a Christian to have morals. We have them because it’s true.

Babies too? Also unborn babies? Than again, since child cancer is a thing - evil babies might be a thing too. But I digress.
So tell me how are you evil and what is depraved about you?
The same any species without a natural predator would have done? It’s more of an argument against human intelligence as it is for god.
