When people first learn that I am an atheist, they ask me if I believe in morals or have morals. I often ask them that if they didn't have a god looking over their shoulder, would they go and rape or kill people because there was no hope for reward and no fear of punishment?
So this goes out to all the Christians, Jews, and Muslims out there: If there is no god, would you go and be "immoral" or would still be moral because it is just simply the right thing to do? Now reflect on your answer to the latter question. Ok, no answer . . . do you think it is possible for atheist to be moral people?
little side note, the two largest philanthropists in the world are atheist . . .
