Of a different opinion I think it has to do with setting a standard moral standing. Personal control with very different from psychosocial congruency of what out to dictate a norm

@Kungfuartist religion is not needed for morality to exist.

Kungfuartist · 31-35, M

@MasterLee then without it would the general population not steal? Lie? Murder or rampage?

MasterLee · 56-60, M

@Kungfuartist yes because those values do not come from religion.

Kungfuartist · 31-35, M

@MasterLee law then? But still prisoners are let free when they 'find God' and that aside the inital for of law were "rules" set by diety were they not?

MasterLee · 56-60, M

@Kungfuartist no it comes from within.

Kungfuartist · 31-35, M

@MasterLee so a conscious? What about those who ignore. Does religion not have a place when it comes to that

MasterLee · 56-60, M

@Kungfuartist no it really doesn't. Humans are by nature tribalist.

@Kungfuartist so you mean religion creates fear in humans, and because of fear they change their ways

MasterLee · 56-60, M

@LaviBukkuman no more peer pressure. Most rationally know there is no god.

Kungfuartist · 31-35, M

@LaviBukkuman no I mean it grounds them to look at their conscious. A guiding force.

MasterLee · 56-60, M

@Kungfuartist nope.

Kungfuartist · 31-35, M

@MasterLee how so?

MasterLee · 56-60, M

@Kungfuartist there is no guiding force. Merely a shaming in groups.

LaviBukkuman · M

@Kungfuartist thats the same thing as being in closed cage, once they find out that the cage is opened, they’ll go back to their old ways.
