Is kindness kindness when it is done out of fear? And what if it's done with an expectation? Like the swallow God with our free meals soup kitchens? I agree that soup with God is better than no soup- but it isn't really "kind." Not in my definition of kindness. Real kindness is without expectation (imo). And what Is goodness? Is it good to go around telling people they are going somewhere nasty if they don't believe what you believe? Do you do that? I don't think so. I suppose they might think they are good. But I don't think they are good. And if I don't think they are good then they aren't good, as far as my world is concerned. The "help" people get about what is "right" and "good" isn't helpful enough. They need the kind of help the nice atheists and agnostics I know get. That must be the kind that comes naturally. We need more of that. Sinful? Well if it is, sin ON baby. To paraphrase Austin Powers.
