And what exactly is the best way to perpetuate your genes? to have lots of babies or to build a decent society in which your (fewer) children can prosper? I'm sure you know the rest of that argument, it's one I'm keen on.
I have a tendancy to conciously know an answer to a question before I know the solution which lead to the answer so I'm a lot happier going on the general feelings of "right" and "wrong", certainly I question them from time to time and try to work out the logic behind them but I don't see it as necessary for every situation.
There's a powerful if simplistic reason for obeying your creator in the begining at least: The power to create often has the pre-requisite of the power to destroy. Don't piss off God without good reason, he comes armed with Smiting.
