re: #584 Iron Fist

With no belief in an afterlife, there is no real reason not to do whatever you enjoy as long as you can get away with it. This would seem to mean that morality derives from temporal power. If it feels good, do it, but only as long as you can stay out of prison, or at least off death row.

Can you tell us how that perspective differs from the concept of going to hell, instead of death row?

It seems to me that you think you wouldn’t know right from wrong if it wasn’t for the possibility of damnation (or that you are being watched all the time).
