Reminds me of a discussion I had with a reglious friend. They believed that even if they personally disagreed with their religion they should still do as it said, as that's what their God wanted them to do and hence 'right'. I maintained it was better to do what you thought was right than do something you considered to be wrong. It basically got down to even if a 'creator' did genuinely pop up tomorrow and start telling you what was good/bad in person, would you be happy blindly doing as you were told or would you still fell you had the responsibility of deciding for yourself?
