This is another thing I hate about religion. You are not rewarded by benevolence, honesty, or goodness, but by faith ALONE. By the word of the bible you cling onto, you are obliged to hide behind faith and judge everyone by their faith. It is what creates walls between societies, what creates animosity and hatred. fueled by nothing but faith.
This is why religion is dangerous. It puts young guys in a vacuum and tells them what to think, how to act, and that what everyone else ways is wrong.
@Nidair, on the contrary, you are rewarded for other things. Off the top of my head, praying and giving to the poor. Look up where Jesus talks about "treasure in heaven." Faith leads to good works. But you can't do good works without faith first. I would even venture to say that if someone does not have good works, he does not have faith. You judge the type of tree by its fruit.
