Yes, of course, and I would not be willing to die for some random stranger.

The consequence of Christian, altruistic, self-sacrificial morality is the "liberal" heatmap in which everyone is expected to sacrifice himself for the Greater Spotted Newt.
The consequence of traditional (pagan) morality is that you care more about your grandma than Greater Spotted Newts (or for that matter Africans).
This may be confusing because "liberals" (in fact leftist) are "atheist" (in fact post-theist but still deeply religious and specifically Christian) and conservatives are "Christian", but Thomas Aquinas introduced a rational, worldly, Aristotelian element into Christianity which post-theist radical puritans (aka leftists) stripped out.

Now one for you: Is it morally wrong to prefer your own grandmother's well-being over that of some random African? Is it morally wrong to prefer your own well-being over that of some random African?
