You are right the impulse to change has to come from inside not outside.

I believe that those people you just mentioned do not carry GOD in their hearts. They only pretend but do not live according to it. But yes you are right there are many good people out there without believing in God.

Well if you thing about it fear from judgement, fear from God can definitely help you to be a better man. This could be understood as some kind of psychology if you wish.

And I thank you for your honesty. I also do not try to force my believe on anyone else only putting my two cents in also.
If anyone feels offended by my words I do apologize for it. We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.
