An honest question to those that say life has no purpose:

What would you give as a reason for not doing awful crimes such as rape or murder if life ultimately has no purpose?

Well, doing those acts would react in a negative reaction from the society. That's good reason for most people. That's why in societies that don't strongly frown upon those actions, rape & murder are more frequent. But almost all societies frown on unnecessary murder (for obvious reasons). So in almost all cases, the consequences of murder are good enough reason for most people.

Although the answer to my question is addressed in the video miz1q2w3e posted, what about when society cheered for deaths and don't see murder or rape as moral issues? Is it okay, then?

I responded to your question "What reason do you have to not commit crimes like murder and rape." That had nothing to with morality.

But to answer your question, if such a society existed, it would probably only last a short period of time until it collapsed into chaos. Would such a society be moral? It doesn't matter. Why does morality matter? Ultimately, civilizations father for the best of the society, not the most moral route.
