I don't also think that you got my point about good and bad.
Oh, I did. It's just that you cannot concede the point.

Does a dog know if it is bad or not to marry his aunt or not?
Incest is one of the most common cultural taboos, while also being linked to very deep-seated instincts to avoid the enhancement of inherent genetical defects.
Many mammalian species avoid inbreeding by instinct alone.

Does he know if it is bad or not to show himself naked?!
What does a "naked" dog look like?
There's nothing intrinsically bad about nudity, by the way. It's just cultural taboos that make it seem that way - and these are far from universal, I might add.

What is religion?

Bondage. Control. Oppression.

These worst elements of humanity hide within religion, to be sure. And yet it is possible, not easy but possible, to follow Jesus with the necessary personal relationship, and avoid these well-established negatives of "religion." Giving rise to Jane's most hated saying ^_^
