nowhere in the Bible did it say that the BIBLE (that very same book that fundies are now using) is God's words. so, when was the Bible declared as "God's words", and BY who?

Imagine life in the western world without religion... (think about dominant religions for the sake of simplicity of this question).

Some people need religion to provide morals. For instance, heaven and hell. If it was proven that there was no heaven or hell, don't you think that people would 'sin' more if there was less of a reason to? It's wrong to kill because you wouldn't want people to do it to you, right? But for Christians, Jews, etc., it is an even bigger reason not to kill because you will live your afterlife in a firely pit of hell...

I don't believe in heaven or hell, reincarnation, sin, divine powers, etc. However, I do believe, at this point in time, that religion provides morals and values to those who would have few without the power and fear of 'God'. Religion answers questions with no answers (beginings of the world, for instance), and most people need that.

I'm looking for sociological theories and other references to back this up.

I have been coming here for some time and I have come to like a number of the people who come here but there is one person in particular who has caught my attention.
I seem to be developing a crush on her.
Is that being silly?

Christians always tell me that Jesus loves me, regardless, but if I don't put my faith in him, I will go to hell. That doesn't strike me as a very loving gesture.
Now, I already know what you want to say and let me stop you before you do. Just because I'm an atheist, doesn't mean I'm not curious about religion so don't just say "if you don't believe, then why do you care". That will qualify as a lazy stupid answer.

Do you ever go outside on a nice autumn's night, With a clear sky above. In the company of your spouse enjoy a nice glass or two of home made wine? Your under the stars, enjoying a nice brisk air, bundled up next to your best friend which happens to be your spouse (wife in my case, she is my best friend) and look for shooting stars and satellites. And she says, one more glass, do an eskimo kiss and just live life again?

God is obviously not real. Why have people spent years and years killing eachother and having wars over it? Santa Claus is more belivable!

And why on earth do people still belive it after all this evidence is disproving it?
