An atheist believes we are responsible for our own actions, but if a Christian believes he is appointed by God, shouldn't his motivation be even greater?
I think the message conveyed in your post zulu could perhaps be more accessibly and expediently conveyed by saying:
"99.9% of the time we know the right thing to do, as the Holy Spirit guides us, and that guidance need be followed at all times unless we are to be burdened with feelings of guilt and remorse, let alone any devine retribution which may strike like lightning if we do not follow the moral compass."
That seems to cover the bases for theists and atheists alike. Well worth adding to the txt I reckon.
