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.”

Did the word “you” mess you up. I did not say I live the life because of any idea of fear, or reward. However, there is a reward spoken of and that is Heaven. I was just pointing out that your soul, to my mind, would be an important place to use the PP. I believe Kant noted living life as if there is a God just in case and beside as I noted earlier a good life lived is still a good life.
