I use the introductory clause because if both participants to the converation believe morality is all based on selfishness (which is commonly held belief among may Atheists and Agnostics), then you do have a basis for morality and you don't need a code. The discussion of polygamy and killing would then revolve around the issue over whether such rules if enforced would be in the interest of the participants of the conversation.

Has anyone on here argued that morality is all based on selfishness? I don't recall seeing that argument. So part of this whole thing could be that you really need to talk this out with someone who actually has the view you are ascribing to anyone who doesn't agree with you.
