If there is no God shouldn't we just do whatever we can get away with and let our fellow man take care of his own interests.

Why, atheists, should anyone worry about morality at all if there is no ultimate accountability. Shouldn't we just treat people as badly as we can get away with and get as much stuff for ourselves as we can?

Without God, why be moral?

About say, just one religion in particular?
I mean, there is one participant that seems to ask nothing but negative questions about Jehovah's Witnesses, and it just makes me wonder why she is so angry with them?
For me? I left the Lutheran Church 9 years ago, but I have never felt any need to go on a mission to bash Lutherans, or try to humiliate them publicly for remaining in a church who's doctrine I do not agree with.
I just would like to know your opinions and thought as to why you think that some former JW (it must be a former JW to ask the questuons that are asked) would not just get on with their life?

My friend called and said she ordered me a Dooney for Christmas. Her gift to me since I've never owned a designer bag before. What do I get her as a gift in return. I've never owned a designer bag because I cant afford those crazy priced things!!

For me its the traditions we used to do...
I had 5 siblings so it was always fun around christmas!
We had this huge van and would always drive around and look at christmas lights together and sing christmas songs...
On Christmas eve everyone on my dads side would go to his mothers house..and there were 8 different familys there..so it was a huge party! We would open gifts there and it was so much fun playing w/ the cousins and the parents siting around talking and having fun!!!Then Christmas day us younger kids would always wake up at like 6 am and Go into the living room and try and guess what are presents were from Santa..lol and mom& dad...after all that we would go to my Mothers side of the family's house...and it was pretty much the same thing...Opening presents and playing w/ the cousins..then we would go to my dads Real dads house...and visit them!What i miss the most is all my family being together and having fun...nowadays its not the same..what does everyone else miss?

Australia provides more in the way of foreign Aid in our region than anyone else ! Who else provided ONE BILLION DOLLARS to Indonesia as Tsunami Relieve last boxing day, when other richer countries were at a measly 100 Million or so ? The man is an ex rocker who has lost the plot ! Look at the names of hes children for crying out loud ! Agree ?

a lot of people say theres no such thing as a "God"
our minds just created him to help us grasp the fact that theres nothing after death and blahblahblah.

then how do they still believe in the devil?

omg,I am sooooooooo frustrated with all these hypochristians right now!!!
I have asked a couple of questions about tithing..like
Is it considered tithing if you give directly to a charity you believe in,instead of churches that you dont..

basically,everyone is claiming unless you give it to the church,It does not count as...(get this)..you have to give it to God! the church IS NOT God...especially the ones in my area
they are claiming giving to the church is giving to God..hahahaha
first off..God is everywhere..is HE not?
2nd..how is giving directly to Gods children,not considered giving back to God

I dont need to put my trust in a church
I put my trust in God and God alone
even the Bible clearly states trust in no man..
can someone show me the part that said
trust in no man..except for churches!!

churches are NOT God people
can you accept that
and KNOW that God resides everywhere!!!!
