People who do not believe in ultimate and eternal justice scare me. Everything I've seen adds evidence to this theory. If I am wrong, my decisions still encourage people to behave in a way that considers the ultimate meaning of their actions. If you are wrong and make decisions using only what seems to serve the individual in his or her relative experience of the moment, then everyone acts on the Helter Skelter principle. There is no accountability in this and everyone is harmed.

Are you saying that there is no middle ground between "ultimate and eternal justice" and making decisions based on "relative experience of the moment?

This doesn't make much sense to me. People make decisions based on the outcomes those decisions are likely to have in this life. That's a long way from basing decisions on "relative experience of the moment".

The threat of retribution in the afterlife has never carried much weight. People act - and always have - according to the prospect of reward or punishment in this life.
