No, you didn't. You passed off a slipshod insinuation that, aside from being inaccurate, is unfair.

I did it for myself, not your thanks. I remember one time a lady came in, with two kids in tow, and after hitting the other aisles in the food bank got to mine -- the dessert and sweets aisle, the last one. As we ended the transaction, she thanked me, and I in turn thanked her. She looked at me, confused, and asked why I was thanking her, because she'd done nothing. "Oh, no," I replied, pointing to my chest. "You've helped me too, you don't know the half of it."
Even in selfishness, goodness can be achieved. And even in charity, one can benefit oneself. This horseshit about an afterlife being needed for morality is only applicable to those people who need a whip on their back. I work for carrots, and I can find benefits in this life that you don't seem to understand.
So spare me this line about goodness coming from your god.
