what is a "good" life? they are different things for you and me. what would be a pertinent reward and who besides yourself decides what the reward is? there are no guides on what a "good" life is, no answer; to live is to figure that out yourself, although your "answer" will be constantly changing. happiness? enlightenment? purpose? truth?

I got this, so what I asked was if you think that religion is the only thing that predetermines what is good and what isn't. Do you believe that without religion, our objective views on what is good and what is evil wouldn't eventually overlap and create a series of accepted norms and standards that would be fit to live a good and comfortable life? Religion is essentially man-made after all.
