How does the threat of eternal suffering stop you from faltering? Why is that more effective than just trying to be a good person because it’s the right thing to do?
I don’t need an external force to choose to be a good person.
Because it is, because eternal suffering is gonna keep your lower self in control when your higher self already rationalised their way into condoning a lack of virtue. Expecting people to be wiser than not is just the silliest thing, don’t you know people? There are some who break from the matrix of materialism and hedonism but most never do, and their eyes get bigger and let go of virtue for a moment, and in those cases remembering God’s Judgment can save you.
You don’t have to be a piece of shit, just a person, to falter sometimes.
