A hypothetical question - would I go to heaven or hell? - Page 11 - Religion, God, and Theology

If everything was done for free, the system would not function, and you wouldn't have the computer that you're currently sitting in front of or the electricity that's powering it - allowing you to complain about things you know little about.

Currency is essential, for overcoming the inconveniences and inefficiencies of the barter system and all pre-currency systems.

Yeah its called trade.

Try again.

Exactly. He takes advantage of ( he needs) the comforts and safety a society with rules offers well condemning that rules based society. If we all lived by his way of thinking there would be no society or the creature comforts we/he enjoy from it, like AC power.

No you take advantage of society as a whole well condemning it as a whole. If your view had consistency you would reject the advantages you condemn.

This is why I'm not very religious... How can Gandhi go to hell and Jeffrey Dahmer go to heaven?
