Yes. 

I imagine decent people already feel remorse for those they have wronged. But when we believe in God we believe in apologizing to the person we have wronged as well as expressing remorse to God for violating His commandment to love others and treating one of "His children" badly. That's where I was going with that.


This right here is where I see religion infantilizing its followers.  It starts to seem that a believer is never fully an adult.  Why should a god want us to go about with his commandments foremost on our mind looking at each situation for the opportunities it affords to do or avoid what ever god has commanded?  Did he really create us so poorly that we have to operate in such a constrained manner?  Are our natural impulses so faulty as to require constant over-riding?
