You'd try to do the right thing even if you didn't believe, nothing about you (in that regard) would change if you stopped being a buddhist, you've expressed this before. Your buddhism doesn't seem to be relevant to your goodness.
Don't you find it amusing, that your comments regarding how buddhism was changed and corrupted by man directly echo those comments made by christians regarding their own faith? In each case, both you and the christian believe that the portion which escaped manipulation is the portion you believe in. How convenient for you both.
You're upset about threats? Aren't you the guy who explained that if people didn't watch their Karma..it would rape them in their next life? That's something you don't hear from christians, often.
