Shal, that is very cynical. Haven't you ever known any good atheists?

No Sophiee I can't say I do know any atheist. I don't usually discuse religion with people. I had a hard time with what the rabbi said, but when I thought about it I realized that even when you don't think about it, after you've done it you feel good about it and some people love to do good for others because there is that satisfying feeling after you've done so, even though that isn't the reason they did the good deed to start with. So even though a person does good for others with out expecting anything in return they may perhaps still know that they will have that satified feeling in the end and I don't see anything wrong with it.
