In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled Imagining "Imagine" : John Lennon's gibberish-filled anthem. , sarasota wrote: Let me guess at the answer: because of his conscience. It's all about the ego, not the higher power, for some.

Yeah, but if conscience is enough to stop people from thosee bad acts, then what do we need religion for? His original premise was that man needed religion to stop us from being murderers, rapists, etc. But apparently he was able to make the decision not to murder or rape without the benefit of religion. If that's the case, I'm wondering why he doesn't think everyone else could do so as well...
