In relation to Buddhism. Why should we do what he says?. His not the boss, nor the creator, nor will he judge us all, nor has the power to cast one to utopia or hell. He has no authority to give a moral code.
Almeyda, you hit the right spot.
We humans are very far fom being responsible creatures; therefore, I salute those who are able to uphold morals without having to be threatened with hellfire if they don't do so.
Basically you said, "If there's nothing in it for me, why should I do good?"
