@tomcapuder Applied to any coercive religion, I’ve said for decades that you can’t be accurately judged by anyone if being good is based on Divine Retribution threatening your afterlife status. We have to see how you act without the leveled threats. This is different than acting based on your inner moral compass, doing good deeds just because “You” want to. 🤔 Btw, I’m Agnostic, I don’t rule out the possibility of something more after… just don’t know what that might be. 🙂
