    Negative energy is self defeating and self destructive.

    Ultimately the fate of the world doesnt rest with those who practice evil or good, it rests with those who are apathetic or neutral to actually pick a side.

    Funny thing is though by staying neutral they give more power to the negative side.

    Because I have a choice, and as much I believe in a creator, my reasons for doing deeds deemed as "good" is not out of fear or thirst of a afterlife in the clouds. It's just in me at times to be good, sometimes I do bad, whatevs. It's all subjective anyway.

    My sister is one of those " if I do good on earth, my reward in heaven is greater".

    She was going to school to be a psychologist, she dropped out because it's "not gods plan", she now is attending a Christian college where she will learn the history of Jesus and the bible, which she doesn't get a degree in nor does it advance her in any career. She now plans to "counsel" church goers, "possibly", or do whatever ? wants. (she still wants to be a psychologist )

    She said its not about her future on earth, or career for money, but the reward in heaven is that of which is greater. So, in other words, she feels as if she is pleasing her ? by learning more on Jesus and the bible, and somehow she will be more favored over others and given a more "special" spot in heaven.

    I wanted to smack the ? out of her.

    So I'm assuming you mean that you're gonna be held accountable for adultery then. Adultery of the heart is same as in the flesh my ? . Lustin after some filthy average man handed cave ? when you married is frowned upon.

    My philosophical reason is because its the right thing to do and bettering one's self is in the long term good for society as a whole.

    My scientific/sociological reason is because it encourages others to be good also which decreases the instances of conflict, or worse, war, thus increasing the population/survival of the species.

    using caps doesnt make your point any more valid...what if there is nothing to be held accountable to?

    basically you dont know. it all boils down to that. you believe...belief doesnt equate to fact.

    ? Jesus said that ? is the same.

    but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with ? for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Matthew 5:28 That is what Jee-ZUS said. That's that red writing.

    ? Dro you goin to hell and you knowingly did that ? too.

    26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries

    Hebrews 10:26

    You goin to hell on scholarship.

    How does that work?

    Do ? confront us 1 on 1? If so, that's wack as ? . I live my life, I know what's up and need no judging. ? knows all, what is there to judge? The whole "judged for your actions" is ? .
