> Love one another - Be a generous, helpful person - Accept personal responsibility - Don't have a sense of entitlement - Honor and cherish your spouse - Don't mislead or abuse children - Honor your parents - Be proactive - Resist conformity - Abide by the laws - Don't be judgmental - Be kind - Be compassionate - Be empathetic - Don't be obsessed with possessions or wealth - Work hard - Ignorance is not an excuse - People are people, no matter their ethnicity - Be tolerant - Don't cheat - Everything in moderation

I don't think gort would have any problem with those morals. What he has a problem with is:

"Love one another - Be a generous, helpful person - Accept personal responsibility, etc., etc.,... because otherwise, you'll burn in hell"

As an agnostic, I find it amusing that someone would demand that god conform to human morality. But it's an understandable viewpoint.

Right, I follow you, that's why I mentioned in the heading that there are things I don't understand. If you think about it though, just like our legal system would hold me accountable for my misdeeds, wouldn't the consequences apply if we broke a law set by a "supreme judge" if you want to call it? In the latter case though, you get off a lot easier for repeated offenses if your heart is right.

Maybe I'm wrong, who knows.
