"You're all going to die someday, so you better start thinking about what happens after, and if there is something after, you'd better start thinking about whether what you're doing now is good enough to meet the standards of what comes after."
Pascal's Wager: "If you believe in God and turn out to be incorrect, you have lost nothing -- but if you don't believe in God and turn out to be incorrect, you will go to hell. Therefore it is foolish to be an atheist."

What you think of others is really what you think of yourself.
Once people accept the truth of this, rather than think badly of others, they would be inspired to find their own bad behaviour and change it. Then we would have world peace because everyone would recognise that what they despise in the world and others is really what they despise in themselves and just don't see.
