Because only a fool needs to be taught how to be 'good'.
I'm way too empathetic, whenever I consider doing something bad I think of how bad someone else might feel about it and than quadrupel it. No need for believing in karma or a religion to give me morality; when I do wrong, I feel bad.
well, it's strange but I actually think "how pissed would I be if I was on the receiving end of this?" then I ignore that outcome and do or don't do whatever

I'm kind of a sociopath sosometimes the defining line on good or bad is a little blurred for me. I'm not a baby eater, but I sure as shit don't really care about most people.
The fact that I treasure not being locked up inside a small cell and being able to do pretty much whatever I want.
Combined with the fact that most of the time I have nothing to gain from doing most "bad" things you could imagine...

Simple and yet the thing that keeps me from doing stuff like that as well...I won't do anything but avenge some friend...revenge is an act of passion,vengeance is an act of justicexmetatr0nx said:
I don't do bad things simply because I know for myself that they are wrong, not everyone would view my actions as the right thing, but I see that as no reason to stop doing what I feel is morally correct. Of course, morally correct for me typically means "Don't be a dick" so usually no one finds anything wrong with it. Also, I watched too much Trigun as a kid, and that probably had some effect on me, damn you Vash and your morals.
Side note: I am actually listening to the BGM philosophy in a tea cup right now, just listening to it gives all of my words extra meaning for me that no one will catch but me.

'The fear of being caught and punished' fits me like a T. If I knew I could get away with something, then sweet! But since I know that I'm more likely to fail than succeed when it comes to crime and other bad acts I'd rather err on the side of caution. Besides, I suck at lying, so I wouldn't be able to cover my tracks.
I try not to do bad things because God doesn't want me to, and I want to keep my relationship with him on a frendly basis. Many times I fail to succeed in this goal.
I already know that given the overwhelming amount of athiests, that my comments are probably going to be instantly disagreed with. I did not post this to start ( *sighs* yet another debate about God or religion) but, because this is my honest answer.
I don't care about punishment, I don't care if it makes my life harder, I don't care if other people suffer. But, I do care about my relationship with God. Be thankful that I am one of those crazy religious nuts, because the day that I stop caring about God, is the day I start killing people that piss me off. It's only human nature.
