Jody,
That's why they say to read the Bilble to find out what people were
doing wring back then, and that applies equally well to believers
today. It's the good people that don't need god or religion in the
first place to try to keep them from doing bad.

Hello Bob,
I always find it ironic when I hear that the only reason why people
have
morals is because of a fear of God.
I remember when my nephew was traveling around Europe. He left his
bag on
the floor next to him at the airport in Israel for 5 minutes and it
was
gone. Israel is the home of the three mono theistic religions in the
world.
Compare this to when you could leave a briefcase on a train
platform in
Japan and find it there the next day. Most Japanese are Buddhist,
tao or
Shinto.
So where does God enter into the picture of ethics?
