This is a continued subtopic from the following thread:
http://dawnspire.tinyrocket.se/forum/index.php/topic,994.msg11422/topicseen.html#msg11422WHY THE **FUCK** would you blow yourself up. WTF. How does this fit in with evolutionary theory? Is GOD the ultimate motivator? I will now create another thread for this subject.
This HERE might give an explaination (note that I have drawn upon this article for other ideas as well)

There is also the possibility that God actually exists, and he's more important than sex, life or whatever. Philosophically, that's fucking boring though, and since I'm discussing DRIVES there's no rational biological drive you can indentify from that viewpoint.
As a KID, I was religious, and mostly it manifested through compulsive behaviours. Do things a special number of times, don't do other things. Whatever. I had a scoreboard in my head, so if I did bad shit, I had to make it positive again by making good stuff.
Which is interesting. Because, I believe, that to most of us who are or were religious, God represents, when you find a Godly drive the strongest, :
GUILT
GUILT, would make me do compulsive behaviours.
But today, it's also the MOST HELPFUL EMOTION I HAVE, in order to get shit done. If I play games when I know I should pick up girls, GUILT gets me there. It's subtle feeling that what I do right now might be enjoyable, but it's just fucking wrong. Guilt is one of my gutfeelings, and one of the few emotions I treasure.
What GUILT does, is that it responds to your LOGICAL needs. You KNOW you should turn the TV off, and do the dishes. All your emotions says something else, but your tiny feeling of guilt is the only one who ADHERES TO LOGIC. This is the feeling your logic mind uses. Thus it's valueable.
SINCE your logic mind uses it, if you INFLUENCE your logic mind, by *proving* there's a GOD, for instance, you can also program the feeling of GUILT.
