I don't believe that most people are intelligent enough to realize without the Holy Spirit that harming another is wrong, as I believe that most non-religious people don't give a hoot about anyone but themselves. It's been made clear throughout these threads over and over. I think that the fear of spending life in prison keeps non-religious people from killing/harming one another.

So, hypothetically speaking, if you didn't have your delusion, you'd be homicidal. Thanks for the warning.
This is simple psychological projection. He is saying that people need some sort of "threat" to keep them in line, because ultimately, that's all religion really is. So he simply assumes that non-religious people think the same way.
Well, yeah, I wouldn't want to spend even a single day in prison. However, that isn't the reason why I dion't harm others. I have morals, you know, and I don't need some ridiculous holy ghost to keep me from straying. Furthermore, seeing as inciting murder and mayhem seems to be one of the fundies' favourite pasttimes I suspect you are a pot in need of meeting a kettle.
Now I'm scared. If you can't perceive on your own that harming others is wrong, then you should not be allowed to walk free.
What fear keeps you from killing/harming others, Light Walker?
For thelast time, STOP SAYING THAT! I'm religious, but I'm PAGAN! For crying out loud! I DO NOT use the holy spirit as a moral guide! And besides,I would think that the fear of jail time/mortal retribution would keep ALL people, religious or not, from killing/ harming each other
Most people dont think of harming others except occasionally as fantasy. A few people behave because of fear of punishment, either secular now, or religous when they die.
Now go play in the street.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
