Quote: r3x29yz4a said: I've said it before and I'll say it again. Religion is for people who want to feel safe. Want some assurances that they matter and that they're protected. Its used to impose morality on the masses. Anyone who was truly moral wouldn't need religion to keep themself in line. They wouldn't need fear of hell to keep themself from doing wrong.
I'm not just trying to be contrary, seriously, but I've often thought that people who deny the existance of God or at least a God who's actively involved in this world and with us people do so so that thay feel safe and protected. It's easy to say you take responsibility for your own actions if you can convince yourself that no-one is there to see what you do when no one is watching or that no one can really tell how you truly feel about people. Anyone who is truly moral wouldn't try to define morality by thier own standards but recognise that they ae accountable for thier hidden sins as well as the public ones.
