I didn't say that's all Christianity is - you did. Think real hard. If there
are no metaphysics, the Law still maintains your family, tribe or nation.
That's the biology. If there are metaphysics, then the same Law gets you into
heaven. So, eureka, in each case the behaviors are precisely the same, the ones
that guarantee survival, and the ones that save your soul. So, instead of
intellectualizing about things neither you nor I can have proof for, or twisting
the religion out of shape to conform to the post modern liberal mindset, obey
the Law as people have been doing for thousands of years and the rest takes care
of itself, biologically and metaphysically. Either way, you win.
