    As I said in the other post- people who say they need a god to tell them what is good and what is evil terrify me because they might decide one day that their god says to rise up and kill.

      Bingo. It’s the same reason fascists need hypocrisy.

      How else will they justify to their loyal followers that they too won’t be harmed like they harm “the other guy”

      Religious people need to be told there would be chaos without their religion. Otherwise how else would they hold followers when they learn that morals are culturally created, and are by no means objective reality.
