Weird dichotomy: if we're going to see beyond reward/punishment, how are we to reward ourself for behaving according to our own expectations? If there's nothing like "sin", in what direction should we turn our lives?
I think the guy reasons smartly but sometimes the "reason" is missing: what is religion for? Different for different people, of course, but what is the core?
I wish there were more people like him and less fundamentalists.

@quwicken I concur. I am a humanist (if you want to corner me) and really admire this way of thinking.
