I 100% agree with y’all on what you said at the end! I have some family members, however, that are a bit like Doug in the sense they don’t consume pork, gelatin products, watch movies unless they are G, don’t eat at restaurants that serve alcohol, etc. in order to please the Lord and go to Heaven! it took me many years to get away from that lifestyle/mindset and thank the good Lord I did!

I don't even like women, but Janett was hot in that fight scene!

Doug maximizing his point total is the text book definition of "moral desert." If being good is only a means to an end and every action you take is a pre-determined calculation to be tallied in a spreadsheet, it becomes a self-serving motivation. Doing the "right thing" is one of the most complex and situationally dependent things in life. It can change completely depending on your emotional state, your relationship to the people involved, and the significance of the consequences once you make a decision. No matter how complicated it is though, you just always know what the "right thing" is the second you make the wrong choice. It's impossible to live a perfect life and it's kind of pointless to try. Instead, life presents these choices to us over and over again in a million different ways so that eventually we can learn how to get better at making them. Being willing to learn how to make better choices after you have experienced failure is probably the closest thing to doing the "right thing" we will ever experience. You have to want to do it, even when it's hard, or requires sacrifice. Pobody's Nerfect.
