    So basically, you are saying that the only reason you don't run around and steal, rape, and murder is because you are afraid of god?

    • I agree. I forget who said it, but I once heard a great comment about the "surveillance" aspect of religion - those who abstain from committing criminal acts because their holy book or God tells them to, may in fact be the most naturally-dangerous among us, as they are implicitly stating that without such a holy book or God, they would basically revert to an animalistic state free or any moral beliefs or obligations.
