A verdict in a federal lawsuit over price-fixing by some of the country’s largest egg companies has bled into Indiana’s 2024 U.S. Senate race.
I do all of those things. Not a single freaking one because I’m worried about punishment. I think it’s odd to suggest that the only reason you do what’s right is because you’re scared of punishment I find that a very disturbing mindset.
You’re essentially making that old Christian argument right here. That people that don’t follow the Bible and Christianity can’t have any morals. They say that if you’re not scared of damnation what would stop you from raping people or murdering people. Which is always been a horrifying thing to hear because it suggests these people would love to be raping and murdering people if it wasn’t for a shadowy sky figure saying no. That’s the argument you have aligned yourself with. Now if you have no problem with that fine, but I would hope any rational person would see the problem with that argument.
It’s not the same argument because I’m not saying I’d do things I consider unethical. I’m saying I’d do a lot of things that are illegal but not unethical if I wasn’t worried about getting caught.
And that’s a you problem.
