Text from the image :

The best logical fallacy to give an atheist when discussing morals is to ask them why it's morally wrong to have intercourse with roadkill

It's dead it will not feel anything, nobody will know and there are no victims

If you ask a Christian or Buddhist why it's morally wrong, they will tell you it's because the body retains inherent dignity as part of God's creation (or the sacred flow of life), and desecrating it violates divine/natural order, harms your soul/karma, and shows disrespect, even if no one feels it or knows

An atheistic worldview of this question taken to its extreme, concludes that intercourse with roadkill is tantamount to masturbation and nothing more

What the fuck.

The concept of dignity is really not dependent on religious foundations. In fact isn't the modern concept of human dignity mostly a result of enlightenment philosophy. You know, from the guys who left religious though behind? And that later developed into the concept of animal dignity?

Also it isn't - as a rule - a common atheistic concept that humans are "above" animals, that's one is a Christian original.
