Why some humans are so evil: double standards and irreligion

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.

Every country in the world has prisons, armies and police. They even call it "law enforcement".
There is an official institution for enforcing fear in every country in the world.

If I'm a terrorist for suggesting that "deterrence is caused by fear"; then all armies of the world are terrorists; with the U.S sitting on the throne with lots of atomic, terrorist weapons.

The first operation in the invasion of Iraq in 2003 was officially named "shock and awe"..that's quite terrorist.

Did Ted Bundy / Jeffrey Dahmer have a fear of judgement? Bundy murdered 30+ women, the actual figure is likely much higher, we will never know. Dahmer ate 17 blokes. But while awaiting execution they both became Born Again Christians and confessed their sins. They're in heaven.
 
Now Bill Gates and Warren Oats between them have ~$80 billion in a charity fund dedicated to improving the lives of mostly children in developing countries. And guess what? The two of them are destined to burn in hell for all eternity because they won't kiss Hank's arse. 

I read a lot about Judgement, redemption, salvation, forgiveness, absolution, deliverance, etcetera, et fucking cetera. Nowhere do I see the words fairness or compassion. They aren’t in the fundie vocabulary. Theirs is a binary position, heaven or burn. Are they so totally devoid of imagination that they can't see a problem with this?

I can't find the words to express my contempt for the deranged arseholes, and I mean that!

Edit. Spelling.

It's a bad turn for the Christian faith to have the confession concept.
All humans are capable of lying to save their skins; or at least save their public image.

The same goes with Bill Gates and his phony charity work. But one thing I stress on: Islam has different standards for judgement, unlike Christianity and other faiths.
