“The incredible extremes of the carrots and sticks of religions are far too convenient tools for behaviour modification. Ultimate pleasure and ultimate pain are the ultimate threats to keep people true to the faith so that they don’t leave, and so that they can have their will and actions funnelled, controlled, directed and manipulated. If a god does not stop unfair suffering then he is either unable or unwilling. Why would a god of love be unwilling to do this? An ineffable plan? What if the god is unable? Then he does not deserve the title. Why would a god break every commandment except for the ones about loving god, and hold his own people to a higher standard than himself?” (Osborne, M. D., 2008, “Rooted: A Modern Mind”, p. 108)
