For science, there is game theory. If you can get away with immorality, then it's worth doing it, although there are set rules to follow. But they are not divine rules, just rules designed by people and therefore if you break a rule, you are only guilty if you are caught by a person.
For religion, there is God theory. God is all-knowing. You can't fool him and there are set laws to follow. If you break the rules, your guilt is absolute, and your punishment is certain.
Which world do you think would be a better place--at least in theory, even if the world we have now is a given?

As long as we keep believing there is a world that would be a better place. Then we remain forever broken and lost in a world we know nothing about.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 12:58 am

In reality, being born is one huge big fat yawn fest, it's only going to get better when it's over...when it's completely done with once and for all.
From dust to dust...and endless desert.
