If you don't believe in God, Heaven & Hell=eternal punishment for sin....when your dead your dead and that's that....what reason do you have to live by another man's rules? Why not do whatever your heart desires if there is no higher power to answer to? Who am I to tell you what you can and can not do, am I not only your equal?

I don't believe in God's eternal punishment.
I don't believe that ALL have sinned, particularly three year olds.
When I'm dead I'm probably going to fertilize dandelions.
I live by my rules and those shared by those that love American secular democracy that permits even the most frothing at the mouth religious bigot to spew their venom like Jerry F and Pat R.
There may be a higher power and for me God lives at the misty boundaries of science and the unknown and it is beautiful, peaceful and exciting.
You cannot tell me what to do nor can I but when we join together we can form a government of the people, by the people and for the people and create laws and governments that will help "form a more prefect union".
The most dangerous thing in the world to me is a group of well organized religious bigots getting together and voting to void the Constitution that I love and establish a theocracy where one nutcase like Hitler will dictate what I am to believe and is willing to KILL KILL KILL Galileo if he says the world is round and not the center of the universe.
We can do without fundamentalist bigot religion and their terrorist minions.
I hope this answers your question.
Some people need to be controlled by the terror of the boogie man. So sad.

Why is that some people believe that without the word of God, people would being killing their neighbours, etc. I don't need the Bible to tell me that murdering, raping and stealing aren't the right thing to do. Why are there believers who commit crimes, they know the consequence of what they are doing, but they still do it.
There are non-believers who have never done anything wrong.
It all comes down to what an individual perceives as being right or wrong. Answering to a higher power is not a factor as far as I can see.

I don't kill people, which God and man's laws both prohibit. I also don't like watching a cat gnawing on the innards of live baby bunny, which is not prohibited by God's or man's rules. Our parents and our society form our moral values. I was taught empathy, regardless of whether or not God approves of the pain being inflicted. Going along with what someone says is "God's will" -even if common sense tells you it's wrong- is a sure path to hell.
(BTW, I quickly put the rabbit out of its misery.)

There are numerous restraints on the behavior of people, not just "moral law." There is such a thing as a "social contract," which means that you must be at peace with your neighbor for the best outcomes for both of you. There is such a thing as practicality; your insistence on your own way will make the rest of us resent you and resist you.
BTW ... the Bible is actually "man's rules" also. Men wrote the Bible.

Read John 3:16.
If you do not want to be with God in eternity, you will not be. It is a free will.
God's laws are protective. For example, what about if some body's heart's desire is to kill you. You would not like that, especially if you do not believe in Jesus and you do not have a change to be with Him after you die.
You will have a totally new life when you let Jesus to enter to your heart. Church is full of sinners. The church is the hospital for sinners. He can make everything new...and He has much more choices for us than we can comprehend.
I hope I can see you in heaven. You can tell me what made you to change your mind.

if god had created us correctly there would be no sin, and no real reason for heaven or hell, but maybe in gods eyes there isn't such thing as sin, and we really don't have free will.
