When someone's sense of spirituality is so great that it acts to push that person to self discipline, self-criticism and therefore, at its presence make the individual be efficiently moral... could it in the end be more powerful that the rules a religion imposes?
Isn't it true that when someone is moral out of own ethical judgements, it holds more value than if someone does it out of fear that he will be punished if he does not obey the rules?
Where should the emphasis lie? in truly believeing that the morals we follow are ethically correct? or in being accepted in a religious society in which morals are shared, and if u follow them, then you were in the right?
