It's the good people that don't need god or religion in the first place to try to keep them from doing bad. :-) Edgar On Oct 4, 2008, at 5:04 PM, Jody W.

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? JODY New Email names for you! Get the Email name you've always wanted on the new @ymail and @rocketmail.
