Quote - Following the Golden Rule is nice.  Everyone should do it.  But for Christians and Jews, there is a far bigger picture (or scheme of things) than just living by that rule.

Because why would a non-religious person ever follow the Golden Rule if they're just going to die anyway and there's nothing after that because they don't exist anymore?  They certainly won't care anymore whether they followed the rule or not because they're dead.

Well who have said that ppl who aint Christians and jews cant see the bigger picture? I belive in a life after death, maybe in my next life I be a tree or an insect  -and if I'm very lucky I dont have to live anymore life; then i be a part of the big mass of power.
Ok I admit I'm religous so I guess I dont fit into the non-religous group; but i'm not christian nor jews. I'm one of those who belive in everything, in all gods and godess, in magic, in unicorns, dragons, elements...the list gets long. Its a belive that feels right to me.
