Even the most learned psychologists & psychiatrists who btw are usually
atheists agree that story telling to the young is one of the best way to
communicate ideas to them. I also strongly disagree that humans have a
morality code built in. Try making a study of morality in our prison system
some time. Many inmates turn to religion as easy way to chalk up points
with the parole board but you'll find that the ones that actually reform
enough not to be a nuisance to society after they get out are predominantly
religious in their private lives. All of us have demons within that we must
keep in the background. Sure the demons aren't usually a bright red man
with pointy ears & a pitch fork but that doesn't mean an evil doesn't lurk
within us either after all humans are animals. Have you heard the one about
the 3 monkeys in a tree discussing humans?
You seem to have very little confidence in what a normal, non-deranged,
non-psycho human mind is capable of. The fact we are wired to fall in love
with a mate, protect the family and normally do not go around killing
innocent people is an elementary example of a sense of morality built in.
Books and the government do not need to instill this in most people. I
suggest you find a better example to counter with than incarcerated felons.
