Its just scary to think that the only thing holding back religious people from becoming mass murderers is their fear of punishment from God. Though there are believers who do become mass murderers coz they think God told them to kill.

Its the REWARD-PUNISNMENT concept that keeps people in their faith. A promise of everlasting happiness (plus 72 virgins if ur Islamic) in heaven or everlasting torment in hell...

What if there is no reward for being good, and no punishment for being bad... no heaven, no hell... would people remain faithful to their God? or would people abandon their faith and go crazy?

If people obey God coz they are scared to death of being barbequed forever, then people don't love God. They just fear Him.

If people obey God coz they wana live forever in Disneyland-in-the-clouds, then they dont love God. They just want happy comfort and free board&lodging forever.

Take away reward and punishment and the religious people will rethink their faith.
mawalang galang po, napakaraming "if" po kasi nito at ang pagkakaintindi ko sa salitang ito ay tila "pangarap" lang o dili kaya ay "kathang-isip" lamang at "hindi pa" mapatunayang totoo. sa akin po kasing pananaw, kung kumbinsido po kayo na totoo ang isang bagay ay walang puwang ang salitang "if"..

"take away".. maari ko po ba malaman kung sino ang meron kapangyarihang alisin ito?

nagtatanong lang po...
