>= morals = correct way to live . BE RATIONAL

Standard christian nonsense:
1. Buddhism has even better moral guides than christianity, wo why not be a
buddhist?
2. Some of us have enough character not to need mythologies to behave
morally. Try this one on, if I live in a society of indiscriminate killing, I
myself am not safe, it is in my own benefit to live in a society that does not
condone killing.

Maybe you are so weak that you need some threat of hell to behave civillized,
I however do not.

You see most of our morals are due to social evolution. A society that
condones murder and rape of its citizens will not last long. But we do see
societal differences in what is moral concerning marriage, sex, incest,
cannibalism, killing of foreigners,war,etc.
