I do the right thing because I don't fear hell.
How can christians be "moral" if their only reason to do something is out of fear? When did fear justify good behavior? When did fear justify righteousness?
Discuss.
May I submit that there is no 'right thing.'
What you do is based on your fear soceity's wrath if you do not adopt its morality as your own.
Congratulations - you have just identified one of the worst things about your religion - the total inability to recognise that anyone can do, or want to do the right thing just because they are a human being.
Oh - and there may not always be a "right thing" but there often is.
