An unseen entity watching your every move and hearing your every thought who will burn your butt if you are bad is a great control mechanism for the believers.
Nothing replaces good parenting by good parents IMO.
Every child used to become a Buddhist monk for six months after graduation from school many years ago. Then the rich kids started getting out of the monk thing as they were to rich and important to wear the robes. Then others started to disregard the monk thing too. The country was kinder gentler 45 years ago. Now Tic Tok seems to guide the minds of the young yet here the parents (mostly mothers) grand parents cousins etc still make sure the kids work and have chores.. I wonder if societies have a self destruct directive which weeds out the majority to start over again; seems that way sometimes ????
