Why do you not pray?

Re: Why do you not pray?

Thank you Theorist for a fair response … Japanese and many of these “peaceful” European countries are not fighting with their governments not because of peace - but because of depression.

Japan has a suicide problem:

In my opinion suicide is directly prevented by a belief in an afterlife that would judge us. Japanese men are absorbing themselves in virtual relationships.

Is this peace? I don’t think it is …

Religion is a code for being good - thou shalt not kill, not steal, etc … If that is not there … then what we only have are laws to prevent these things … if the consequence of not being caught is not there - the religious person would be afraid of God … if a person has no reason to be ethical - why would they stop themselves from benefiting?

Even those who follow a religion and do crimes - in my opinion they are irreligious - for not following their CODE. However, there is a real issue of those who interpret their code in certain ways to support and justify their own violent tendencies … and they remain to be a problem.
