    Lol, if they require some promise of reward to behave then they aren’t a good person

      That’s not at all what I said. For some people, the thought of oblivion leads to existential dread. It’s a belief in something more that keeps them going.

      Are you saying that not being able to handle that makes you a bad person?

        Sounds pretty childish

        The sooner they learn to confront reality the sooner they can work on making their reality better

        Seems you are depicting religion as a cause for a lack of motivation “nothing matters anyway because things will be better when I’m dead”

              Your position in this argument sounds more like religion hurt you and you’re lashing out than anything else.

              If you can’t morally allow religion to represent something positive for people, the problem is you, not religion.

              Although I’m not religious myself, I’m capable of seeing how it affects positive change in some people. Deciding for them that they are childish/evil/stupid/whatever because you don’t agree with their mode of motivation is frankly a lot more childish and petty than you’re trying to paint them.

              Anyway, thanks for showing us that you aren’t a good person. It literally doesn’t matter what you think about the subject.
