re: How can people with morals survive in an immoral world?

One group allows you, and expects you, to be a horrible sinner, capable of murdering, raping, stealing, etc. and still allowed to get into heaven with a simple repentance before death. This means that the most evil people that ever lived could be saved on their deathbed, while someone who simply grew up in the wrong place or time in history and was taught to believe something different than your religion would be doomed to an eternity of torture. This group is less concerned with their physical life here on earth, while the group that you think is morally repugnant is actually focused on how they live and treat other people in the here and now.
You could look at plenty of evidence of religious people behaving less moral than non-believers, but that isn't necessary. Instead just look at the tenets of what you actually believe.
Why are some of you so afraid of thoroughly examining your own minds and beliefs, and how and why you came to those beliefs? Is it a fear of what happens when you die? Or is it that the belief you have is so deeply ingrained that you are unable to separate it from who you are?
