Religion and an all seeing God is the best tool to control barbaric behavior

The children will be happy knowing there is:

A heaven where someday they will see Grand Pa again

That bad people will get there come uppance some day by a just Deity.

They would gain comfort by praying or asking for help from a compassionate Deity.

Good behavior has a benefit and reward




FYI Only folks that take their interpretation of the Bible as absolutely literate have a problem with evolution and the age of the earth.

The Darwin guys still need to find your missing links and transitional creatures.

My personal theory is environmental stress altering gene code in similar ways. This would allow for creatures as a group to change in both predictable and group ways. This as opposed to a single creature breeding a new master species.

None of this requires the absence of a God it just threatens organize religion and their dogma

Lefties have as much Dogma as anybody


ALL PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED
