Albert Camus made a career out of this thinking:
    If we believe in nothing, if nothing has any meaning and if we can
affirm no values whatsoever, then everything is possible and nothing has
any importance.   There is no pro or con: the murderer is neither right
nor wrong.  We are free to stoke the crematory fires or to devote
ourselves to the care of lepers.  Evil and virtue are mere chance or
caprice (Camus, 1956 P. 5)

and he received a Nobel Prize at that!!  Bill Davis
