Being an atheist, a perfect atheist, then everything would be done through rational agency and tangible proof. Pure logic.
What logic is there that prevents this character's rational case to commit the murder?

I have no idea what point it is you are trying to make.

The key to some of your questions is easy.
Most threads of this nature are purely knee jerk reactions, its basically being TOO LITERAL.
In other words, the OPs piece is designed to push the narrative that a Repub, even a prominent one, would allude to equating Death and Atheist, thereby, setting the tone for an audience that may or may not know any better.
This is inherently the same tactic used by MSM of all things. The good'ole twist and sell.
What is the Golden Rule for atheists you explained, who enforces it, what if it's broken

You can't speak for all atheists
Then why did you ask this:
Can you tell me what all atheists consider a bad action and why
No. I said there is a golden rule. One that makes a good starting point. It's the same one your Christ preached, interestingly enough.
Because you told me there was an atheist golden rule
Sounds like a personal problem. It's good that you found a direction, at last.
I was an atheist once, I never knew of a golden rule

I told you. The legal system.
If it's broken, they get away with it. They often do. But I can see the comfort in believing that they will burn in hell for eternity. Especially if they're homosexual.
stop projecting your Catholicism on me.
I admit it. I'm a human. Aren't you?
You are describing a human justice system

I don't know. Do all Christians employ it?
All atheists accept the Christian golden rule?
No. I'm saying that the golden rule transcends any religion. It is a logical construct. Not divine.
So now you are telling me all atheists have a Christian moral foundation based on the Christian golden rule

I'm not a Catholic. Nor was I raised as one.
