Not what he asked, but okay.

Right?

I get that the tweeter wanted to just blast on religious folks, but it makes them look like they don’t have an answer.

How one determines right from wrong is a pretty interesting question with a whole lot of guess work and gut feelings for most folks, regardless of faith.

A lot of philosophers, religious or otherwise, have spilled a lot of ink on the topic.

“Threat of eternal punishment “ doesn’t help you figure out right from wrong, just the consequences of choosing “wrong.”

Pretty much. They're going for the pithy, stolen witticism about 'why' rather than the 'how' the bald guy posted. People who care more about getting the dunk on 'bad' people than helping them understand are just being selfish.
