Amos, that post doesn't get off the ground.

First of all there's no morality in which a bad act can become good because of unknowns that come to light later. Second you're on shaky ground if you think you're trying to live by those values you espouse. The suffering on this planet is widespread and intense - much of it a consequence of inequalities that governments in the developed world have helped to create and do nothing to redress. They do nothing because so very few people in their electorates - ie us - give a damn. Or if we do give a damn, too few would take that to the point of sacrificing living standards to ameliorate the suffering.

Those who think there will be a Day of Judgment, and who are living comfortable lifestyles in the midst of worldwide impoverishment, must surely believe they're doomed. Or do they think their prayers will save them? For the rest of us, there's at least the small comfort of knowing there'll be no such day.
