"For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same" ...now all that's left to do is define what is bad, like bacon and sex.
What if you're good because your mom wants you to be good AND you love your mom, want to make her happy, and want to be like her when you grow up?
"No thanks" to your unspoken request to debate with me. Not interested. For one, I'm too lazy for formal debates, and secondly, I can't get past the fact that theist believe a book written by man was somehow "inspired" by some higher being using some unknown mechanism that has never been evidenced to delve into the details of it all. It's just too silly.
I'll happily color-commentate though.
For your information, I am all grown up. Why, just this weekend, I informed my parents that they don't know what they're talking about; a rite of passage for any self-respecting adult! Also, I stole three cigarettes from my mom's purse, because I make my own decisions. Jealous? Thought so.
