hehe‚ ok that waѕ an obvious troll, and i еven admit i quoted it  It is not hard too see how acts of agression would increase without the fear for reprocussions‚ but i dont think taking juѕt thе "spiritual reprocussions" out of the equasion would increase them...
/edit: whole sentence now

yes my post was made as a troll or maybe as a madman I haven't actually gotten my psychiatrist to tell me yet he just keeps giving me more pills hehe.
But along those lines. Lets look for evidence of what happens when life doesn't doesn't count after death. The easiest way is to look to the online world. Take eve for example. Most of you have morals in real life(I know i am grasping at straws as i haven't ever met you in real life) although you may from time to time think of killing that guy who cut you off you see it as morally wrong and there for don't do it. Nothing in science i know of actually account for this "learned behavior" In nature unless that person was related to a group you worked with why would you value his life. In fact it may actually benefit you if he is gone. Take online games for example. We kill ransom steal and grief. We destroy hours of other peoples work however its a game. It may make them sad but we do it. Mostly because there are no real repercussions after we log off. Hell it makes the game more fun for most of us and it is a game. We do have short term losses in game for you chances you take‚ but the moѕt that can happеn is your account gets banned.
This is the world without an afterlife. Many people view most of life as not much more than a game. You and I may not be like that. But most of the religions were created to stop people from clicking and saying it all doesn't matter in the end. Take joe bob here. He just lost his wife and kids in a car accident. He no longer has any family left his parents have gone he was a single child and had become a real family man with few friends to speak of. What keeps him if their is not a hint of consequences after death from finding where that bus driver lives breaking down his door and killing his family in front of him followed by the buss driver himself. This sort of shit happens every day. Would it not be that much more if your "crazies" didn't believe in an afterlife where he would not only be able to see his kids and wife again‚ but couldn't if he killed the buѕ drivеr himself and/or himself? Most people want to atleast hope for an afterlife Even if only a good one.
