Why is that theists rely on god to give them direction?
Many here claim that without god, people would be without direction, morally and ethically, and would see the world in utter chaos.
I am reminded of a fellow I once met not too long ago who made it no secret he was a die-hard Christian, and that if he did not have Christianity in his life, he would definitely be an ax murderer.
Is it the assumption that theists believe in this or do they actually need religion to rule their morals and ethics, to hold in check their potential to be ax murderers?
Sorry for the abrupt title.
