"'Without religion, how would you stop yourself from raping and killing all you want?' I already do all the raping and killing I want. That number is ZERO because I don't want to rape or kill!" - Penn Gillette.

    With or without Religion we seem to, as a species, not inherently think raping and killing is wrong considering all of the raping and killing that goes on.

    My point is all documented human groups had a spiritual belief structure so evidence suggests that belief structure was required for a consistent, easy to communicate, "moral code" that exists today.

    Go back 10,000 years if you want to see what "inherent human morals" look like.
