Sigh... no i'm not. And you don't even have an argument. Fool would be the one that discriminates and murders others in the name of a non-existant god based on a book written by old scribes whose objective was to control the masses to prevent chaos. If you think because it includes "be good" it excuses the "except in these situations"? You don't need a book to let you know you should be good.

I always wondered about that part.  I feel like they were all duped and needed to believe something to describe how things were.  They had forms of governing back then in terms of basic laws as well.

Yup, but the problem was they had no way to enforce said laws across vast lands. There were no efficient and speedy transportation methods nor was there efficient communication methods to enforce said laws. Can you imagine the logistics necessary to have trials? Influence could only be exerted near the places of power. Therefore the only way was to have people "police" themselves/each other. How? Through fear, of course. Wich is why we get hells and purgatories on these story books.
