So you have to be scared of skydaddy in order to refrain from stabbing your neighbor? Weird....
Has it ever crossed through your primitive way of thinking that maybe human cooperation through division of labor and necessity (not to mention common moral altruism and empathy for your fellow human that you apparently seem to lack) is the reason people don't go around stabbing each other?
IIRC more people have been killed for religion than for any other reason in history.
