Guy: cheats on test
Teacher: Eh, I can't bother

Doesn't mean it is right but there was no punishment

6?

Who's to say it wasn't right? That's an issue of morals and ethics is it not?
That kid could've been unprepared because he was absent the week before and not made up the work yet because its his first day back and the teacher makes him take the test anyway. What would you do? I'd cheat, hell yea i would. No shame in it. Sometimes you have to do shit others may think is wrong but thats life. Everyone has their opinion on ethics and morals. Who is to say that one "god" decides whats "right" and whats not?

Guy: kills 50 people for the fun of it
Police guy: that was pretty funny since you did it in a banana suit so no punishment.

Does it make it right lookaround

You didn't mention the fact that people would be commiting crimes in banana suits....0.0...Just because he's in a banana suit doesn't really change anything. These are such radical and kinda dumb situations. If a dude killed 50 people for fun and a cop said Ok you can walk free cuz u look funny in that suit. Then yea, it's wrong. not because of god. But because he commited a crime and walked free....

You have just revealed the true power behind the church! Without consequences the church has no power over their people. Most people if not all stay in line because they are afraid of the repercussions associated with disobeying

Hence the irony religion teaches you to live a good life so your death will give you reward. Where they fail (not all but majority) of the time is how to live a fullfilling life!

Probably.....

People would realize that they are in control of their own destiny, and who knows where we would go from there.

As far as i'm conscerned, Shakey is right. People should step up and think for themselves and stop being told what to do.

The whole reason for obeying God's laws is because you believe they're right and you believe he'll lay the smackdown if you deviate from them. If there were no punishments, we'd all treat them like guidelines.

If there was no punishment for being bad I'd be looting a liquor store right now. And not for the cash.

I have too much blood in my alcohol stream.

I'd be robbing you after you did all the work of robbing the liquor store.
