Genius or Dumb?
Glee or Depression?
God or Devil?
My current perspective on theology is that it's a subset of psychology.
God is the devil, too.
Because God is rewards, and Devil is punishments -
and anybody can deal out both!
(and maybe the same psychic person controls society)
Heaven and Hell are metaphors for happiness and misery, in this life.
Religion is a form of social control.
God, Devil (plus, minus, positive, negative)
God is good, happiness, love, heaven
(and persuasion/hypnosis that it will last forever)
(i.e. reward, carrot, incentive, pleasure and comfort)
vs.
Devil is evil, misery, hate, hell
(and a scare tactic, eternal hellfire)
(i.e. punishment, stick, disincentive, pain and suffering)
The Santa/Satan thing:
(he knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness' sake!)
God or Demon
Good or Diabolical/devilish/demonic
Gratitude or Death
However,
the same behavior can be rewarded or punished.
carrots aren't as tasty as steaks.
Generosity or Depravity
