Converting

[WinterHold]

If some authors like to leave a "deep" story behind their humor, many others don't. Actually there are so many popular publications that serve nothing but the sole goal of making the reader laugh, generalizing on the whole industry is quite wrong to me.

I am interested in the novel you mentioned to me months ago, about the dark city with lots of crime and criminals. That one seemed interesting.

Mere "belonging" is not my thing; you see I prefer to have "morals" and "strong reasons" behind my moves. I believe in God because the idea of a universe without a creator is silly to me: the design of it is too perfect it rings a strong bell.

I believe because it is the most logical thing out there.

An invisible make - believe person won't make you a better person.

When I sell a vehicle - I will tell the buyer all that is wrong about it t hat I know to be wrong. There have been many times where I could have made more money by lying about things or simply keeping my mouth shut. 

I never have.

It's not because Allah, Jesus, The Easter Bunny or The Great Pumpkin commands me to do.so.

I do it because I despise cunts who willingly sell defective things without disclosing those defects.

I do the right thing because it is right.

That's what morals are.

Morals are NOT behaviour inspired by fear of retribution (or hope of approval) by anyone - including invisible friends.


That is simply Pavlovian conditioning.

True morals come from within.

If you personally have morals; others don't. Take politicians for example, or any "liar" around. They will lie, and claim they have good reasons behind the lie.

Though; what keeps people away from lying is strong law with strong penalties. The stronger the penalty, the more people will stand in line. Usually the law will target the convict's wealth and freedom.

If I am a lawman, your post worth nothing to me, all convicts say they never lied before.

With that aside; all states and countries enforce "laws" to keep people in line. Muslims have their own law, just like any other peoples have their own law.

In other words; is it morals or fear from the law that kept you in line?
