Long story short...we don;t actually have to whip the shit out of people, or threaten to whip them..to keep them from doing bad shit. Honestly, that compells them to do bad shit in the first place. That might go at least a little way to explaining why people have been fucking up so hard particularly since we started believing in religions formed around that very concept. The man who accepts the doctrine of eternal torment isn't going to bat an eye at a moment of the same.
You may think that your acceptance of this is the reason that you're not a terrorist, but in truth, it's probably the reason that you're closer than I am to being one. You are actually describing law and norms, up above, as the employment of terror. Suggesting that terror is what makes us act right. You know who else thinks that? Allah and all his mujahideen.
