    The url you posted has messed up the page width. Wondering, is it possible to shorten it? I know that might make it nonclickable. But, it's nonclickable, anyway. Thanks.

    Staying out of jail and being free makes me nicer and agreeable with others. That is my belief system.

    If I were to loose that belief system society would consider me worse and spend tax payers dollars to incarcerate me.

    I think I am happier and less sad being able to move about freely.

    Personally I think it would be better if I had a lot of gold then I could make the rules and controll everyone else.

    Do kids need an invisable policeman, god to keep them from doing wrong? Not if they are somewhat intelligent and can read and comprehend my post.

    I think its best for parents to explain as much as thouroughly as possible, because once your children leave the nest you have reproduced a copy of yourself to either be a wolf or a sheep. To either be a predator or one who is consumed. It's best the parents teach their reproductions to swim with the sharks, or their will be a time of weeping when they are eaten.

    Satanus: Just "google" "social constructivism". That's what I did.

    I think it depends on what you mean by "nice" and what you mean by "belief system". My son believes in Santa and that he'd better be nice or he won't get any presents. So yes, it makes him be a little nicer to his sister.

    My belief system is based on "Come from a place of love not fear." I try not to judge others but "Be in acceptance of all that comes my way". I am a nicer person now, than I was when I had the witnesses belief system.

    I think that many things come into play. DEfine nice. Some religious people are more obnoxious than hemmoroids and yet because of their beief system they wont kill yoi=u or steal from you or vandalize you or try to flirt with your spouse.... anymore. That is great. I also think that everyone person has his or her very own weakness or propensity.

    REligion haS A DOUBLE EFFECT. On the one hand it prevents people from harming others, on the other hand it causes people to harm others. (some religions that is. It is wonderfiull when people are nice, but I seetle for people not causing me any harm, even if they aing=t so nice.
