re: #233 Thinking Mans Republican

You can beg all you want. The person I was addressing was crystal clear in his motivation, and it was unequivocally fear of punishment, and potential for reward:

“I would think all you that like the precautionay principle would believe in God. Sixty or seventy years of righteous living against a eternity of Hell. That is a real payoff.”

That statement is BS in light of faith too. Precautionary living in case God lives is not a substancial kind of faith.

Aside from that your comments seemed to be a general statement about people of faith. I was not aware from the context of your post you were responding to only that one comment. Forgive my misunderstanding.
