Andy asks what's wrong with providing a little encouragement to good behavior with a kick or candy bar if it will get the job done. Well several things...but look whom I have to get to understand me? Isn't the point, good behavior, so who cares how you get it. One problem is that these people you poke and prod are more than likely going to have children in their turn...keep the cathedrals lit...you know. With this sort of education in values and motivation for parents it isn't likely the cycle will ever stop...but rather be passed on to new born children who could certainly benefit by NOT being treated like cattle...and wouldn't THAT be a tragedy for old mother ch

But it isn't just a kick and or a candy bar...it's "cheating death" itself...you know, the BIG ONE!.. and living forever in the company of the god of the universe. That's some candy. Neither is it merely a kick in head should you fail to be convinced...it's an incredible house of horrors only people who have this sort of "love" could come up with and then fob off on their god...also of "love".

Once you're conditioned to expect an unheard of gift or an equally unbelievable eternal torture...you're about useless as a simple moral human. A frown of displeasure just won't do for you any longer. The tears you bring to a child's eyes won't phase you...you've got HELL dogging your footsteps...nothing less will scare you into decent behavior. You won't have a moral bone in your body left once you become a Christian...for you've just been excused from ever worrying about the mayhem you leave in your wake on earth...not unless there's no way out and for a Catholic especially, there's ALWAYS a way out.

Likewise with immortality gift wrapped and under your tree. What does a smile from a hungry kid have to compare? When you've learned to "do right" because life eternal and everlasting joy is waiting for you...well damn...you're used to getting paid in REAL money...small change will hold no interest for you from that day on.

It may sound silly but that's the way it works. It's religion after all.
