I asked a question. I did not state an opinion. And heaven is irrelevant to the man who does not believe.
But to me motive means more than faith. The man greedy for paradise and fearful of hell is not necessarily living a good life out of a noble choice. He is merely looking out for his own selfish interests.
A man who believes there is no eternal reward to be had and who does not live in fear of a vengeful god and yet still chooses to live a good moral life expecting no rewards is making the more noble choice because his motives are more pure as the choice is not tainted by greed and/or fear.
I love the arrogance of man.
