Internal vs External perspective
#11
RE: Internal vs External perspective
My question would be not does religion make you a good person (anyone who needs threats from God to be good is probably not a good person to begin with), but rather, does religion attract people with greater than average empathy? Again, I'd say no simply by looking at jail statistics...

Religion is just a club you join for whatever reason. You buy into the label. Everyone's gives lip service. Those that are good christians and do good would still be good people who will so good irrespective of the club they've joined. They join for the same reasons people buy Pruis'. They think they're making a difference.
All they're doing is feeding the gold plated corporate multinational.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
