The reason humans believe

RE: The reason humans believe
MTL:  

"They only really do it to save their own bacon, which, forgive me, is a pretty tawdry purpose.

A true god wouldn't need to bribe...or threaten...people into allegiance."

Yes.  And what Cecelia said in the post before.

Oh how many times I have had a friend say: "But what if there IS a hell?  How can you risk it?"  Which means "I'll keep going to church just in case."
And yet, they say they believe in a God who knows their thoughts.   There is a huge disconnect there.  Even we don't respect someone who is being
fake to save their own ass.  A God who created hell . . . is going to give that a pass?  (Ooh, I should go write another limerick.)  I don't think so.
