Of course not. In my younger days, I threw rocks at Protestants for practical, not moral, reasons.
What a stupid question.

Good for you. But it's always better to do things with a moral imperative in mind.

Not wrong at all. Doing things just to do them is fine, but doing things for moral reasons has a way of putting purpose into what you're doing. More purpose is always better.

Is there a point to any of this?

Now that's just lower than a snakes belly, blaming the weed for whatever the fuck you are.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.
