Well I guess if you dont believe in right or wrong then you cant be either right or wrong in that thinking, by your own edict. All consequences to all decisions would be indifferent, and there would be no motivation to live a good life.


And yes most societies have religions which believe in an afterlife, but I was referring to the frailty of human life. The afterlife of most religions is in the form of "angels" or as a disembodied spirit (or something of that nature) in that particular religion's version of heaven, not as a human.
