Punishment doesn't teach a person what is good, because his conscience already knows that, it just persuades a man as to what is in his best interest.

If a man came to you and asked that you invest your entire life savings in a scheme of his, it would be a fool who placed his trust in the man and his scheme without testing both the man's faithfulness and the trustworthiness of his scheme.

Think 'flat earth'. Disagreement proves neither that something is right, nor that something is wrong . . . [More]
