LINK: I'd do Matthew Yglesias one better and say that you can't have a deontologist set of ethics unless you have a salvation-oriented theology.
Having one, apparently, frees me to do the morally right thing in all circumstances without fear of the consequences. I realize I'm being sort of flip, but why exactly is doing the morally right thing bad?
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
