I didn't mean to confuse you into thinking that consequences other than bad things being imposed on you by society or supernatural powers were implied, my apologies.
I've never felt the urge to murder someone. Yell at them, maybe. Make cutting remarks, perhaps. So lack of reason TO murder, comes to mind as a reason not to that doesn't really involve consequences. How about laziness or apathy? Squeamishness? Getting along well with others? If I did want to murder someone, THEN consequences would come into play. Someone who can't see why you wouldn't murder people left and right clearly wants to murder people indiscriminately, and only holds back out of fear of consequences (or more likely, has swallowed the lie that if they didn't believe in God, that's what they would want to do).
Someone who avoids murder because of anticipated guilt and remorse would not be a psychopath. Someone who cannot think of those as reasons, would be.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
