Most noteworthy for me is the fact that more Americans think that porn (52%) and homosexuality (39%) are wrong than spanking children (23%) and being ultra wealthy (18%).

The logical next question becomes: why do you get to live? Everything wants to live and is afraid to die. You aren’t special.
This line of argumentation leads to nihilism at its conclusion: nothing matters, everything is permitted, kill whatever you want.
That’s a simple minded misunderstanding of nihilism. It is not a license to just do whatever with no consequences or consideration.
Nothing matters, because there is no such thing as divine law or morality, so it doesn’t matter what you choose to matter to you. That’s entirely your opinion to have and dictate your life around. We are free to shape our own reality and morals.
You’re right. We aren’t special in the grand scheme. Humans are just another animal in the ecosystem. But I am me and I choose to care about myself, so I choose to care about whether I live or die.
