If someone naturally doesn't have the desire to harm, rape, or steal, then what purpose would morals serve in their life? If someone is rather pacifist, nowhere near sexually predatory, nor commit thefts, but doesn't do these because they lack the urges to do so, not because they think they're wrong, in fact, they are perfectly fine with them occuring and see no evil in them. Is being amoral necessarily bad, being as morals didn't restrict them in the firstplace, wouldn't they be obsolete?

It's hard to try to say what is "Moral" or "immoral" outside of the confines of a law system or a religion. People have been trying to figure out if there is universal good/bad since before Plato.

There is no good, there is no bad. Everything is simply one step towards our inevitable future.
