Three passed their lives doing good works.

The first chose to do good works because of belonging to a religion that promised everlasting damnation to those who failed to do good.

The second chose to do good works because of belonging to a religion that promised eternal pleasures of paradise after death to those who did good.

The third chose to do good works because of a considered decision that it was the right thing to do.

Which of the three was indeed good?
