Reply #116: Why? Because It's The Right Thing To Do [View All]

Why do you need someone (god or jeusus) to tell you what's right or threaten you with damnation if you don't do it? Your actions are meaningless if you only do them because you think you'll go to hell if you don't. My good actions are more meaningful because I behave that way regardless of any reward or punishment for doing so. I have a highly developed sense of morality that comes from ME and my life experience, not from some external source and that makes it more valid.

What's the point in doing good works if all you have to do is accept Jesus right before you die and then your forgiven anyway? Might as well go out and do whatever the heck you want anyway for your whole life and then repent right before death. Same difference. :shrug:
