(October 20, 2013 at 4:57 pm)Sword of Christ Wrote: Once you receive Gods grace you feel motivated to do so through Gods love for you.

Theists usually say something along these lines. It just means they feel guilty that being sinners they're loved by god so they need to be good because god wants them to be good.

So good is whatever god wants. If god loves you but wants you to do bad stuff, you do it because he loves you.

I think they're good because they want to convert others. And nontheists are usually moved by how "nice" religious people are when they go to church and stuff.
