Is being a theist immoral in your opinion?

[Whateverist]

On bed rest while recovering from surgery, so super bored if you can't tell lol.

Anyway, as the title said, I'm curious to know from people's perspective here whether you consider it a sort of negative point against morality to believe in God. Is doing so immoral in your views? No need to get into details such as "well, it depends on what you believe about God and yadda yadda...."

It could be seen as a strike against your motivation for acting morally if it turned out you were really just trying get your ticket to heaven punched.  But in general wicked is as wicked does, whatever your motivation.  Of course if you cause harm to an innocent in the belief that it was God's will, your own perception that you have acted within your moral precepts wouldn't prevent you from being perceived as a cunt.

...Just belief in God in and of itself. Is that an immoral thing?

I'd say that is morally irrelevant.


Now if you want to compare the praiseworthiness of an act (I sound like MK), this is something that came up in studying ethics.  For what it's worth (not much in my opinion), I think the person who visits his ailing mother in the hospital out of love and empathy has the more admirable character than the person who does it because he deems it his duty but really doesn't care about his mother.  I.e., doing things because they are deemed good doesn't make you a good guy - in my opinion.  But I personally dislike the idea of doing anything for the sake of your moral reputation.
