For example, Religion A says something like "an adulter will be punished by death" and you interpret it as you should kill your wife for cheating or go to hell etc. The prospect of hell incentivizes the action of killing your wife, but you still have to accept it and valuate what is more important to you.

You're blaming the gun, not the shooter.

EDIT: Not to mention, another person whose reads the same line and interprets that a cheating wife will be punished by god or whatever and they do nothing.

Not only are you blaming the gun, but you're the one that loaded it with bullets in the first place.

Sorry to get in the middle of this, but you made a interesting point.

However, consider the context that these laws were created: in those days the Lord himself talked to the people, they could put a lamb in a rock and FREAKING fire would come from the skies to show God´s aproval.

Also, those dudes were fighting Giants, freaking armies of giants, and with odds like 100:1 or even more. God was very present and, in those days, there were no atheists, maybe you did not enjoy Jeovah and prefered to serve Molok or Baal, but they were there, you could no deny them.

As the love grew cold and humanity cease to have interest in religion, comunion became a niche thing. But, as many believers, myself included, can tell you, it is pretty real when you devote yourself to it.

Ask any satanist why he believe in those things, it is because they talk to them, possess them, do things for them. It is real like the sun for them.

The same to the believers today, we do not kill our wives for God anymore, there are laws today, but, if we aply our lifes to the Lord, He gradualy starts to show Himself, and it is pretty glorious...
