So it's not a moral argument for you. They can't stop you so they can go to hell?

Social structure is one of the most profound evolutionary developments in the history of the world. Where do you think you'd be right now if your ancestors had never thought, "Hey, you know maybe me and Ted should hand out more often. It's one more pair of eyes to watch my back and we can get food more easily."? It's even responsible for making us smarter. An animal that lives in a herd has to have the brain capacity to distinguish between the different individuals in it's group, recognize the interpersonal relationships going on in the group, recognize it's own place in those relationships, etc, etc, etc while a single organism has only itself to occupy it's mind.
