humanaity is steeped in tradition and the majority of those rules have a strong basis in decent moral code. a coworker and i were just talking about the differences between judaism, islam and christianity, all in all theyre really not SUSBTANTIally differen and a great majority of people believe in it. some could say theyre just stories, etc, but what you cant say is that the "rules" have no basis in reality. dont steal, dont fuck your friends over or fuck your friends life and youll have a happy life. right?!
