Again the sutta:

“Bhikkhus, for a person of wrong view, whatever bodily kamma, verbal kamma, and mental kamma he instigates and undertakes in accordance with that view, and whatever his volition, yearning, inclination, and volitional activities, all lead to what is unwished for, undesired, and disagreeable, to harm and suffering. For what reason? Because the view is bad”

From Lal’s reply i understand this sutta actually does not make any sense. Why? Because Lal says that kamma based on wrong view cannot be good and is bad or immoral.

“If a kamma is done with micca ditthi, that is a bad or immoral kamma, and WILL bring in bad results”(Lal)

So this sutta makes no sense at all when it suggests that a person of wrong view can have positive kamma.

Again, here is something not oke.

I belief one can be sincere and have moral thoughts, wanting to assist, to help others (or animals), and still have wrong view, for example, wrong view of what actually is helpful or is wholesome in the end.

One cannot say those thoughts are immoral just because one has a wrong view on what is really helpful in the end.

Are the thoughts of a materialist perse immoral because he has a wrong view?

I think it is not true that wrong view Always means immoral thoughts or deeds.
