I think there's something to be said about being good because you want to be, because you're a compassionate person, rather than being kind because someone else is keeping score. I respect your beliefs and your passion, but it seems like you think not believing in a higher power makes a person completely narcissistic and sleazy. As a friend of mine once said, "I may not believe in God, but I believe in good." I'm not kind to people because I'm expecting some great reward, or a horrible punishment if I'm bad -- I do the things I do because...well, just because. There's enough meanness in the world, and I'm not going to add to it; and if I can counterbalance that, even for one moment, for just one person, that's awesome....and it's enough.
