I know of no instances where God came down from the heavens to reward those who act morally, nor to punish those who act immorally.
Much as some people would like to claim otherwise. (Cf: the nimrods who insist that the devastation of New Orleans was due to the immoral behavior of its residents.)
One thing I like about the Craft is that it makes no moral claims; at least, not the kind that I'm being trained in. It can help you clarify certain things in your own mind, but as that's mostly a matter of mental discipline one needn't be a practitioner to gain even that.
Of course, that's just another reason people like me are totally hellbound, dontcha know.
