If you are smart enough to not get caught committing the crime, why not do it? You will not be punished in the end.

Every time I hear a religious person say this, it makes me feel very sorry for them. Are you really so unfeeling that your only motivation is fear? Humans are a wonderfully evolved species and we have an innate sense of empathy for other humans. I don't (or try not to) do things that hurt other people. Why? Because as a human, I care about other people - its just an intrinsic part of who I am, and its in all of us.
I think the saddest part about christianity is that it takes the best qualities of humans away from us and attributes it to some other being.
