You'll note I never said it was.
But I will say that it should be, and if it isn't, it's fatally off-base.
Dan
What if two people made the same decisions in life, one guided by the rewards/punishment of God, and the other by the earthly rewards/punishment of man. And assume both people make the same decisions....is the man who acting because of his belief in God any more moral or righteous than the other?
I do not see anything that make a decision made because of a fear of God any different than that same decision made for non-religious reasons.
