Its scary that people need hell to not commit crimes and stuff like that.
“I already commit all the murder and rape I want. The number of times I want to rape and murder just happens to be 0.” - Penn Gillette
Tbf, there were a few times I’ve wanted to murder some people.
same. But it’s not fear of God that keeps me from doing it. It’s the dread of going to prison.
Just like Taco Guy. He knows there are no tacos in prison so he lives life in such a way to avoid prison.
I always hate that argument. Why be a decent human without the threat of eternal damnation? I mean that threat doesn’t seem to stop a vast number of religious people from being unbelievably cruel to their fellow humans, so…
Why be good if there is no hell?
Because morale is a societal and not a religious thing.
People who say they are only good because of the threat of eternal damnation are literal psychopaths.
This person is openly telling you that the only thing stopping them from being a shitty person is some myth about otherworldly punishment after they die.
Which, of course, means they’ll be juuuust as shitty as they believe they can get away with.
