Why be good?

[dyresand]

Yeah ... no.


Translation: You all look the same to me, but I don't have the aptitude to actually discern or respond to what you've written so I'll throw a broad swipe in, and to top it all off, let me add a dollop of condescension.

Hey, go fuck yourself. If you are quoting me, then you'd goddamned well better be answering me. If you are not answering my points, do not quote me.


Have you considered a career in farming dental floss?

If it were mental floss, I'd be sure of making a fortune. There are many others, in addition to you, who need it.

Pretty sure i don't need the any sort of mental floss that you or any preacher is selling. But considering back on topic of why be good. 
Being good in general it helps others and it benefits society as a whole. Now if you take a look at the birth place of religion in the middle east of all places.
People are still barbaric and treat woman like objects. Not only do they do that they do barbaric stuff. Granted there is the minority that do not like any of that.
The point stands what looks good is well objective they may think they are doing good while were we know doing that stuff is bad. We are a secular culture they are
a theistic culture that uses the their bible as law and those who do not believe in god get severely punished. Even with the threat of death theists over here say god is real because dot dot dot over there its like believe in god or else. So all in all theists take being good different than atheists being good. Being good here would be following the 10 commandments and lie for god because that is still a thing. Over there threaten people with violence treat woman like property follow the shiria <- biblical law. Kill anyone
who does not believe in god or threaten them to believe in a god. At most with that last part, a state jailed atheists for not recognizing a god. So again why be good because theists definition of good isn't certainly good for anyone. Being good is to do good acts without having or requiring a god and or deity to tell you to be good though a book. Because the problem with the bible being you the theists me a blasphemer are to kill me but you are not, you will pull a bible passage saying thou shall not kill well there is exceptions to that because even god in the bible violated that making his followers kill other people.
