@Orange You are concerned with the distinction between good and evil or right and wrong; right or good conduct. These things are not actually learned. They are innate in you. For example, some babies right from birth make a hell of trouble while other babies are so gentle, yet there are exceptions to every rule as with gentle criminals. Laws and conventions are made to put checks on what society abhors even when they are natural inclinations of man. For example; all laws against what people do naturally are unnatural laws, which is why they are enforced by men who commit same in secret. There are more good people than there are bad people, if not you cannot move a distance from your home. Morality is taught but hardly learned. Only those who are good in the first place will listen or read morality lessons and adhere to the principles. Go ahead, write your thesis, pass your exams and carry on with your life; you won't make the world right, but you can make it beautiful.

@Angelo John Gage There is a purpose. But the purpose is not ours. The purpose is with the creator of the Universe and all that it contains, including man. The aggregate of all the things you do in life is your destiny, so there is therefore no question of "why not wait for your destiny to manifest?" You cannot refuse to act your divine obligation nor can you succeed in doing what is not in your life's chart. Your thoughts which are your guiding force are not generated by you. You open your mind to an issue and thoughts flow. From whence they come no one knows, yet it obviously emanates from the creator to guide you to fulfill your destiny positively or otherwise.

@Freakrik It has always baffled me why adults seem to believe Sunday School stories of hell or heaven as geographical locations. Leo is right in ascribing hell to untold suffering. What suffering is worse than being buried in the ground six feet deep? That is hell! Or any awful situation that tortures either physically or emotionally with no way out. One can be alive and send themselves to hell in depression. Just love yourself and others around you and take life by your strides. We are all on death row to freedom. There is no geographical hell fire, it is made up to make you afraid, keep you on doing things right. I can't bet on more people that are afraid of hell than they are hopeful of going to heaven. Hope this enlightens.

Reality can be a mistaken concept. Reality can be ephemeral. Reality can evaporate. For instance; if I show you a depression that was once filled with water and known as Lake Kaputo, to you there is no reality of the lake, but to me the reality of the lake remains in my mind, filed. Everything that exists has always been in existence in the mind of the creator of the Universe. Your reality is in your head, no one knows it. LoL.

I was born a Christian, Papa and Mama, were Christians. At age 8, in Primary 2, a white Reverend father slapped religion out of my brain (my mind). What happened? The Priest had just cut the foundation for the building of the Cathedral in my home town. Pupils of Sacred Heart Primary school that I attended were obligated to come back to school in the evening, every Friday, to collect sand from the road side for the construction of the building. The bottom of the old bucket I used to collect sand was rusted so I supported it with corrugated cardboard paper. The Priest and the Catechist stood charting near the heap of sand. Unfortunately, during one of my trips to the heap of sand, the bucket's bottom caved in and sand was all over my face. I threw down the bucket. My eyes were still closed when a hot slap landed on my check and forced a hot pee out of me. I slightly opened my eyes to see who it was that was so wicked to me. It was the Priest. I ran, stumbling and falling, back to my home, in spite of the Catechist's calls of "boy come back here!" I got home and cried out my heart, all the time wondering why I deserved such treatment and found no justification for it. My conclusion was that the Priest was not Jesus brother. The man was same color and race with the supposed photo of Christ, and in my little boy's mind I had thought the Priest was Jesus brother. That was how as a little boy of 8, I knew that all religions are contrived to control people with fabulous stories and premeditated injunctions. The Creator of the universe is neither human nor belongs to any religion. Believers are easily misled!

@Akim Interesting views. However, it seems to me that "if God controls everything," IT (our creator is not human) also controls your brain, which is your mind with which you do everything that you are able to do, including science and inventions. Therefore, there's no way you can avoid "bothering", if you are tale-guided. The aggregate of all the things you do in life is your destiny.
