 @980b7d6b -- I study ancient Greek atheist philosophy and the philosophic masters gathered to work out what characteristics, morals, ethics, etc created the best example of a Greek citizen.
They determined that makes a "good citizen" is what they DO. It doesn't matter what their thoughts are or their wishes or their ideas. The only thing that matters is the PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION of actions in real life. People are as they do, not as they think. I think about that a lot while seeing comments
