Being good without god

[Esquilax]

In the way you're thinking of it, yes. But overall, you are doing something God would approve of.

I'd also be doing something my mother would approve of too, that doesn't mean I'm playing into some divine plan of my mother's.

Hell, for that matter, I'd also be doing something Superman would approve of too. That says nothing about the existence of Superman.

Frankly, I just refuse to abdicate responsibility for all of my better instincts- all the while keeping a death grip on my worst ones in order to beg forgiveness for them- to god. It's all just me, and that's all it should ever be.
