There's nothing inside of them. Just a thin outer shell comprised of hate and ignorance that's SUPER fragile.

I once saw a comment from a self-labeled 'Christian conservative' that was something to the tune of: "We need to stop taking the religion out of everything, because otherwise what's to stop people from raping and stealing and killing and blah blah."

It was then that I first had the horrifying revelation that this person (and many others, I'm sure) is at least quite strongly implying that without the threat of hell they wouldn't have any reason to NOT do any of those things.
