I'm sure there might be circumstances where you might kill
someone if you thought it was wrong, but I'd guess that the
vast majority of rational beings would choose to avoid
killing someone if that was the case (otherwise, unless
coerced, why do it?). In much the same way as you wouldn't be
a racist if you thought it was wrong to be one. Racists
believe they're right. Intrinsically.

I don't understand your reasoning. You're saying
that
if those things were intrinsically wrong nobody
would
do them?
