But that means it's not intrinsic, because they were taught it.People came up with the idea of god, that's why it's on the back of the dollar bill. Reality exists for people to come up with this again and again, it's not going to be shoved under the rug. People generally fear the unknown, and a big unknown is how would people react if they really knew there were no consequences to their actions.

http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/apr/19/indonesia-court-upholds-blasphemy-law/JAKARTA, Indonesia -- Indonesia's Constitutional Court ruled 8-1 Monday that a 45-year-old law banning religious blasphemy was constitutional.The law calls for up to five years in prison for anyone found guilty of heresy and limits the number of officially recognized religions in Indonesia to six: Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Confucianism.In practice, the law is applied primarily to perceived offences against mainstream Islam; nearly 90 percent of Indonesia's 240 million people are Muslims.
