A place I think I replied to Simbo, I said this with respect to score/rank keeping of morality:
You bring a good point, in that, how do we have ranks or values of goodness and honour, if there is no score keeping system. What if we don't care about our deeds, does that make our deeds irrelevant? Or do we still inherit our actions, get a value for them, and have an objective rank? And if so how?
If we are valuing our actions by our subjective experience, we can chose to forget and not care about our deeds. Others might care and be harder on themselves. There is no objective score sheet however.
In the case of God however the value of each person is known to him and inherited in the soul. Good actions get inherited and bad actions get inherited.
I was a Deist back then.
