That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think a midwest F2F in May/June to welcome the lovely shrift is in order.
I'm heading to Virginia for a weekend near the end of May, but otherwise, I'll be available for parties and bacon.

Also, "onboard" is not a verb.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Actually, one key conclusion I came to when leaving the church was that my moral judgments would be unaffected by changing my beliefs about the supernatural, and indeed, that this was necessarily the case.
This.
But - my views on the supernatural have changed dramatically from when I was younger. My "moral code" or whatever you'd call it, has not.
And this.
There are morals I've held my entire life, but there has never been a supernatural belief that's lasted more than a few years.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Many have already made the main points I would have brought to the discussion. But yes, I would agree that morals are not necessarily posited on a belief in the supernatural, nor is "belief in the supernatural" synonymous to "world view."
I don't think that either Kantian or utilitarian philosophies rest on the claims of the supernatural, unless that is one way of interpreting the categorical imperative.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I don't think that either Kantian or utilitarian philosophies rest on the claims of the supernatural, unless that is one way of interpreting the categorical imperative.
Strictly, Kant himself regarded morality as resting on the claims of the supernatural (in particular, the promises of reward and punishment in the afterlife), but yes, future thinkers would note that his arguments for moral philosophy did not require his religious beliefs.

I was just informed that Big Boss expects me to work extra hours every day while coworker is on vacation.
And you didn't reply that there are no extra hours?
