How can you reason that to be preferable?
The consequences for right and wrong don't have to be determined by a god. We as human beings should have our own moral feelings and be able to determine this ourselves.
Sure some people don't, some people are arseholes, but that's just the way it is. Sometimes people commit crimes and they get away with it. Thats just the way it is.
Sure its not fair, but just because it's not fair doesnt mean that we have to believe some god is going to bring down divine justice after people die.
