A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death
bc by definition of a few on this board - if Religion exists and ppl follow religious doctrine - they should all be perfect - bc if they arent then they are religious whores.
by extrapolation, those that dont follow the laws of the land are therefore "Lawless Whores"

Man is one Gods bestest creations and he is our creator - wether you want to admit it or not is up to you.
