Religious rules exist to make society and one's life better. Although I am a Christian and thus try to live the most moral life I can to please God, these rules have a practical use as well, without some concept of morality, of right and wrong, a society collapses, just as we're starting to see now.

Making your life better. The Bible does say you can repent from sin.

This is true
