Look, I took the liberty of examining that Euro when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been *nailed* there.

Chris,

How do you know that Dewde did good by cleaning the hamburger-shaped plastic hut? On the one hand, you're claiming that there's no way to know what's good or not, then you come out and say that cleaning up someone else's mess is good. I don't get that.

You can't say "praying isn't good, because there's no point in prayer" and then say "cleaning up other people's messes is good, because I see some point in it." I don't think you're qualified to be the final judge on either matter when you don't think there's a real or true morality. You're just making stuff up.

Besides, there's one correlative aspect you're missing. Perhaps the old Dewde, the pre-brainwashed-Christian Dewde, would not have bothered to clean the mess. Maybe he would have thought it was funny. Perhaps it is his belief in absolute good and absolute evil that makes him able to understand what the good thing here was...

Dewde's family lives in front of a camera. If it's harmful or shows a mixed sense of priorities, Dewde is in big trouble.
