    Why be good if there is no hell?

    Erm… If you need to be threathened with eternal torture in order to be a good person, then chances are you are not good person.

      Exactly this thought made made me understand “god is irrelevant” a long time ago and I became an agnosticist.

      I really can not understand people who are only “good” because they fear an ultimate judgment, and not be good just because they want to out of their own volition.

      In case there are gods, I’ll be judged for who I am, anyways. It doesn’t matter if I play “good child”. If there are no gods, I’m still happier if I’m not an asshole.
