Thank you for the ping. Great reading! I love all of the quotes/references sprinkled throughout the essay. So pertinent and revealing.

If there is no God, then there is NO logical reason to be "good" (i.e. in the traditional sense of virtuous behavior - Ten Commandments/Golden Rule). And of course, those who have accepted the lie that there is no God, will lie, cheat, plunder and kill since they become their own 'gods' and get to define what is 'good'. All so very selfish and self-centered, rather than the self-less and other-centered creatures that we are called to be to realize our full God-created potential and meaning and be at peace in the Truth.

"You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you." ... St. Augustine
