What good does religion offer the world today?

Heard on TV the other day: "Morality is to be conjugated in the first person. For others, there is the law, and mercy."

'The wages of sin is death.'

But the hours are good, and the perks are brilliant.

What is the difference between a dead person in a coffin being waked upon, and a living person who is waking at a dead relative or friend?

Don't know who said it, but it's a line worth repeating.

"Morality is to be conjugated in the first person. For others, there is the law, and mercy."

the bath water (the mythology of god, angels, miracles etc.).

His position on Christianity is very similar to mine: basically, it is that western atheism should not throw the baby (Jesus' moral message) with the bath water (the mythology of god, angels, miracles etc.).

The problem here is that the bath water doesn't exist or there is nothing that proves its existence. As far as Jesus goes, he might have been a person who was crucified but divinity is suspect. I don't buy any of it but there are a lot of used car salesmen still trying to sell that lemon.
