Lol. The people with the power to create laws or shame people to millions are incredibly influenced by religious interests. Just look up some recent history or stalk your local freemason. God save the Queen, God bless America...

Best be careful then, Mr. Irrational, eh...

Exactly... and most of that subconscious through the years has come down from people in power, be it the Roman empire and the Vatican, the British empire, or the forefathers of America. Thou shalt not kill...

Of course the priests and politicians preach one thing to the masses, and do others. It is part of the control. Also part of the reason why people will have no problem labelling me a psychopath on a relatively anonymous Internet forum, despite never killing or lying to anyone here, whereas the likes of Obama who has actually killed thousands of people and lied to billions... no problem, because the law is perceived as secular. Lmao.

What are your reasons not to murder? How are they not potentially consequential?
What possible motivation aside of an "us vs them" in group vs out group mentality would justify something like the inquisition, conquista, or the psychopathic mentality you're advocating?
I don't want to murder, therefore I don't murder. I don't want to steal, therefore I don't steal. If you have these urges and only hold them back because of the threat of eternal punishment, you should really speak to someone about it.
Your most compelling argument after claiming there's no reason not to commit murder without threat of divine justice, and being shown lithographs from the Inquisition is "Thanks Obama"?
