Hey man, I don't care if you're a decent person because the invisible sky bats tell you they'll fuck you up if you don't. Just be a decent person. If Blurt, or whatever, is what gets people to support equal rights, then viva la Blurt. Hell, if your astral plane hasubando is what makes you support marriage equality, I'll go with it.

are you really a decent person if you do decent things / have decent opinions for reasons basically unrelated to their decency, tho

There are entire religions with the moral foundation "be a good person or God will mess you up".

Oh, dear, not this again. To be a good person means to follow good. If a God dislikes the opposite, this is because the actions have merit in themselves. There is a reason the Golden Rule actually works in a number of contexts.

I'm sure it makes you feel all smug to believe that "religious people don't really care about being decent, it's just fear" but you are simply wrong.

ayrt

I personally believe that most religious people who do good things do them with the same amount of... of caring about decentness as nonreligious people, although you can get into a long and tedious argument about, say, whether wanting to be seen as a good person is a good reason for doing things that make you a good person. If you really want look for ulterior motives, you can almost always find some. I don't see much of a point to it.

However, I do think religious people who claim you can't be a good person without the fear of God are pretty clearly saying they're only good people because they're scared.

This is a very good way to put it, and I thank you.

that's both a bit of a simplification, and doesn't really address the question, does it?

Maybe, maybe not, but that's your personal business. So long as you're being decent to others, that's what matters to everyone who isn't you.
