re: #305 Unlike Some People

Thinking of God helps people to assert self-control—even if they’re atheists

Proven by science!!!

It doesn’t have to be the Christian/Jewish/Muslim god to work, it can be any authority you give the power of observation to. Had these students been told there were cameras focused on them specifically to catch them engaging in prohibited activities, their ability to control themselves would be enhanced. However, it’s important to note that controlling these activities are voluntary and non-voluntary activities like those associated with OCD and psychopathies aren’t that easily controlled.
