They figure, if you can't find any--make one up.

# Just make one up, eh? I should totally try that, if only I could take the plunge.
I am needlessly morally insecure just because I lack the initiative of a vegan.

# It's what everyone does, when you get down to it.
Moreover, secure in one's morals is a struggle that I say is fruitless.
I've found that the more I learn over the years the more I have less
assurance as to what it all is or means in the end. [/;-D

# There are probably good and bad forms of security in one's morals
though it's hard to say at short notice what the vital difference is. I guess being confident in your beliefs because you have willfully abandoned coherent reasoning is probably a bad thing.

"willfully abandoned coherent reasoning" has the sound of a lovely holiday to me.

# Hahaha, but you wouldn't want to live there.
Especially around auto-de-fe season.
