53. This was not a "fantasy". Please don't trivialize what he just did.

This was presented as a serious philosophical argument that the only thing that makes rape and murder wrong is that God says so and will punish you for it after you die. (Except for that whole "get out of any transgression free" card called "believe in Jesus" of course)

This dumbass is, like ever so many religious idiots before him, seriously declaring that if he didn't believe God existed he could conceive of no reason he would find raping and murdering people wrong so therefore atheists must have no grounds for calling it wrong.

Which means he is, essentially, declaring that he is a psychopath. And the only thing keeping him in check is the belief that an ever present all powerful supernatural policeman is looking over his shoulder every second of his life.
