FYI

God isnt gods name it a title used to keep from taking gods name in vain

When we say God, we refer to the Judeo Christian deity. Using god is a generic term that could just as easily reference Odin

Just like saying, a president vs the President

It's just a convention of the language

God is still His title

And should be capitalized

if you do not capitalize God, you are, as Ragnarok said, referring to a generic term or a god from a polytheistic religion

God enforces morality by pure invocation alone. When you invoke a higher power with your moral code, that gives it the weight of authority needed for people to respect it.

You don't need the state to force people to follow that morality. Rather, it is conducted purely on the aspect of social pressure and the belief of importance.

When you can get people to believe in something, then that thing acrews meaning and, in turn, becomes important.

John Locke, himself, made the point pretty clear numerous times throughout his political treatise about the importance of religion as a foundation of society.

Because of how grammar works there is only one god I have been talking about

We do good either as a service to God, or because we're afraid of Hell. There is nothing else to stop us from doing wrong when it is legal.

Or even illegal. The conviction rate for murder is about 57%.

So imaginary jail is enough but real jail or consequences arent enough to enforce morals?

Using real laws quickly descends into authoritarianism.

Without religion, you get Stalins, Maos, and Lenins.

In anycase from boots definition morals would work without god

What if there are no consequences? What if jail doesn't strike fear? I've probably made a thousand arrests. The vast majority were repeat offenders.

No, they wouldn't.

They wouldn't be morals anymore.

They would be laws.

If jail doesnt strike fear how does god?

Fear of society shunning you for doing wrong.

God sends you to Hell. Forever.

Laws are different from codes and statues. B

Of course, there will always be excepts, but that's why we call them excepts.

But they dont care about god or hell

Again, excepts.

Just like people dont care about laws sometimes

"Hey, look, there's a tall woman! Your statement is false!" - Non-arguments.

And those people are exceptions.

You're right, because they don't believe in a god.

So religion works except when it doesnt...

And laws work except when it doesn't.

Well not in the traditional sense. Everyone believes in a god. But for an atheist, that god is himself.

you may not fear Hell in your normal life, but if you actually believe in Hell or think there is a chance, and you think you could go there, you will fear it and you will have an uncomfortable death

The point being laws apply even if you dont believe them

And Laws have a much easier habit of resulting in tyranny.

Morals do not.
