Kat,
You wrote, “All mankind ever needed to know is the golden rule.”
I agree though I would modify it, perhaps bring it up to date. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you only works if everyone is self-respecting. I would not want a masochist doing to me what he or she wanted done to them, for example. I also think we need to take into consideration the number of people alive today and our ability to mess up the environment. If I were emperor of the world I would relegate all laws to guidelines and replace them with this single law: Do nothing that harms another alive today or in the future

Abe Lincoln was a great man, a great thinker. He learned to use his god-given mind, his conscience, to guide him. It may well be that many people were not given a mind capable of finding within themselves a good feeling associated with doing good and a bad feeling with “doing bad”. For those a religion devised by others with heavens and hells must be necessary if we are to believe those who can’t understand how someone who doesn’t believe as they do could possible be restrained from doing bad.

I do believe in a creator force/energy, but it is not the gods of the bible. I do not believe the human mind could begin to comprehend this entity much less speak on its behalf. To me the bible is pure filth, hate, bloodshed and deception. Any god that condones the rape of a child is not a god I will serve…period! All mankind ever needed to know is the golden rule. I have a feeling that even the cave men objected to being murdered without some book telling them it was wrong.

“When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion.”
– Abraham Lincoln
