Is it some kind of built-in gyroscope that keeps you the majority of the time grounded and atleast trying to do the right things?

This is just going towards the same lines of what I'm always saying: Isn't believing in God the surest bet out there? IF there is "no God", then no harm no foul, right? IF there is, then you will be glad you chose to believe. What is the downside then?
i've stated many times "no gods no masters, choose your heaven". i read that a long time ago and i completely agree. you hold the power in your hands to do what you want but you have a understanding of what is right/wrong. influenced by what is socially acceptable.

you are made to feel that killing someone is wrong. could i walk right up and shoot someone in the face. yes. will i. no. why? b/c i've designed an image in my mind of the things that are right/wrong. this has nothing to do w/ faith but personal choice. i know if in life the wronged will reedem revenge on the wrong doers, in either physical/mental state. if i kill someone i will either go to jail and/or feel the guilt of taking ones life. cause/effect is the only thing that keeps non believers at bay w/ moral judgements.
