got morality and death... religion is nothing more than a way for people to cope with the fact that one day they will die and they need something other than themselves to make it mean something. killing isn't good and it isn't fun, just ask any one of us that got tied up in gwb's brute squad.
**************************************************************
Religion is another word for law or discipline in one or two brief meanings; thou law or religion at best is consistent with Spirit, religion and spirituality are not always the same or consistent.
Before God gave Moses the Ten Commandments, laws were written on our hearts (and minds); however, after mankind began to abuse such liberties as in no natural laws God had to choose between destroying the world again as He did during the times of Moses or some else, God chose the Ten Commandments.
My point, if ondividual would learn to hear God from Heaven within our hearts (and from His Word in our minds), law, nor religin on stone tablets would be necessary.
My point, religion and Spirituality aren't necessarily the same, though at best, ought to be consistent, as in Truth, and the other Virtue.
Withthis being said, Spirituality/Virtue provides an opportunity for mankind to obtain immortality, as in Etermity in Heaven or in hell; there really is one of two choices based on the Truth that your conscience (attempts) to guide you by.
You must come out of denial and face the reality of the TRUTH and how your conscience is responding to it.
This is "tough love"
