Francine. The difference between my parents and your heavenly father is that my parents exist and had they not I am confident I would have learned from other humans what behavior is wrong and what is right.One doesn't need to believe that they will be rewarded or punished to be a good person. All humans and even monkeys know or learn that emotional respect , affection, ,companionship and cooperation amongst their own insures their survival and happiness.

I don't need an imaginary friend or father to remind me of this universal fact.

Doing the morally right thing makes everyone happy. Both the recipient and the provider.
