Re: Your views on religion at home…

@diwana

Great! You answered it. Fine.

Let’s see.

You said "All of us stop at red lights, that has nothing to do with what he said."

OK. My question remains, why do we stop?

Is this because we want to be good people or have fear that from somewhere unknown a cop would come and catch us.

Come on. I asked a totally related question.

What happenes in religion is the same analogy. People who have fear of God do better deeds than those who do not. Moreover in religion there is a promise for reward. (Not present in stopping at the red light).

Anyone by the why knows the laws of the land are folllowed not just beacuse one wants to be a good person, it is because of fear of getting pinushed and that by the way is the most potent deterrant.

P.S. I hope you have got the understanding of connection between my question and why someone is ‘assured’ to be a good person.

Oops, I misunderstood your question! Thanks for elaborating on what you mean, but I disagree with your analogy. We don’t stop on red light because of fear of cops, we stop because it’s the right thing to do.

Religious people do not perform better deeds than non-religious people who don’t fear God. I know many non-religious people that have done lots of good deeds. Religion or no religion, people do good deeds regardless.
