Why be good?

[dyresand]

The only real reason why abrahamic religions are even around. For one the religion is still fairly new older religions died with their civilizations. Other religions and religious wars
caused those religions to too also stop existing. The fact being is now in the first world and here in murica people are pretty much are not believing the accounts of the bible and just
barely only believe in a god without a bible to back it up. You don't need religion to believe in a god you either do or you don't also to add onto that the bible was not written by a god or divinely inspired no magic no nothing. Its just a book well a story book of metaphors for people of a time that needed something to believe in and the bible was also a way to control people to do horrible acts to their fellow men. 

Mithraism is not extinct. It was simply a off shoot of Zoroaster, which is an alive and well religion .

Huh well i learned something new i didn't know that was still around.
