Previous Quote
One of the possible reasons why we might be good is that we're frightened, frightened of God. We want the reward in Heaven, we don't want to go to Hell. That would be an ignoble, ignominious reason for being good, and I think that if anybody was good to you just because they hoped for a heavenly reward, you wouldn't respect them, you'd probably give them a wide berth.
— Richard Dawkins

To know what one knows is frightening to live what one lives is soothing and though everybody likes to be frightened what they really have to have is soothing.
