Quote:"Non-believers" do, of course, have many beliefs, though not religious ones. For example, they typically hold that moral feelings are social in origin, based on treating others as they would wish to be treated (the 'golden rule' which antedates all the major world religions).
Yes I agree that you get what you deserve, in a manner of speaking. If you treat people well, those who appreciate it will do the same. Not everyone is decent in this world but those who are will recognize a goodwill gesture.
Bottom line: I do good because I want to, not because I do not want to go to hell.
