Religion and Morality

We are told that religion is necessary for men to behave morally. That without religion men will be immoral savages. That fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. That the terrors of the next world are calculated to subdue men’s evil passions.

Let’s open our eyes, however, and consider just how religious have been the religious men and women that make for our sick society. Let’s take a good look at our corrupt politicians, dishonest theologians, dumbstruck teachers, insane professors, brainless magistrates, greedy businessmen, selfish traders, imposters, pretenders, adulterers, prostitutes, cheating wives and husbands, corporate thieves, and evangelists as swindlers, etc – they all share something in common: They all love, worship, and adore God. It seems God is the only supernatural being out there who can forgive sins and pardon crimes down here. Poch Suzara
