Fun fact: People with certain proclivities often cannot conceive of other people not sharing those proclivities. In this case, a serial sexual assaulter and rapist assumes that all men are prone to the same behavior. This is a prime example of what is commonly known as a “self-report.”

That's what I figure a lot when I hear about how without "the fear of god" or whatever to guide our moral behavior, people will go out and rob and murder and rape. Personally, I don't want to rob anyone, or kill anyone, or rape anyone. Maybe the guys who need religion to keep themselves in check are just built different.
