Do some people become agnostic or atheist just to feel free from morals?

Question

Isn't it a bit stupid to use the invective damn when you don't believe in damnation?

btw Why are you more prone to use emotional arguments than analytical ones?

to HI the groupdynamics you describe is apliccable to any group of people.
So who's the hypocrite?

Answer 1

Of course. Why not? I, nor anyone other than God, knows how the human mind works. Agnostics look at it like "I'll try to do good and just live my life like I want, do what I want, and when the end comes and if there is a God, then I'll deal with it."

Atheists are different. They think that when the die, their spirit dies as well and never lives again. So, with a mind set like that, there's nothing to lose; cheat on your spouse, do all the drugs you can, watch smutty porn, rob banks, steal, lie, hate, take your rage out on someone else.

Get it?

Answer 2

Becoming agnostic or an atheist does not guarantee freedom from morality. Remember, we all have conscience and conscience tells us what is right and what is wrong.

Becoming an atheist is also illogical, it's like escaping from something that will forever be under your nose. It's an innate characteristic for every person to look for a Savior, something beyond this temporal life of ours in this earth. The Bible tells us " the fool says there is no God". Your brain tells you there is no God but your heart tells you there is...

Answer 3

morals don't bind us, they protect us. Only people with no compassion would say that. Have a loving attitude of value towards life inspite of the fact that the world is a cruel place that may not have such an attitude. Ify your consistant with love, some people may have a change of heart. That's using God's power in an impersonal form. God is there, but you don't know you know him. You only have to believe that's him.

Hypocrite christians are dangerous by the way.
They are legalist outlaws! What an oxymoron!

Answer 4

Quite the opposite. The few I have met have really great morals. But someone like me who has a strong faith in god, I struggle with sin more. Not in several ways and nothing drastic but none the less it is sin.
I am no better than anyone else. And we should not judge. We should own up to our own responsibility with in our own life.

And the ones I have met have not become that way because they want to deny, they have struggled just the same as I have watching all of the human suffering. That is the hardest to understand. But having said that. I strongly have faith in God and am thankful for him.

Answer 5

Atheists have more morals. Without misguided religion, atheists have to work out real morals that fit within a social framework. We get on with everyone. We do not have religion to hold us back. We accept every other religion because we do not have one ourselves to be prejudicial. Our "religion" is getting on with life, people and educate our children to do the same. Follow your genes rather than a religion.

Answer 6

I think they become atheist or agnostic because every body has an endlees wants despite of their endless anemies...deaths and unhappiness...when they look their on or front or behind.. they can not reach their goals,wants...(thet dont know this world is a place of pray and study and work and mostly a place big examination) the place of gifts...is after death...Therefore they don t want to believe or some of them dont want the both believe or unbelieve...But there is a certaity... life is passing and death is coming....They must notr forget this .ıf there is anan endless world after death??

Answer 7

Judging from the answers above,you have just seen the lack of morals and the hatred against Christianity,other religions and its followers. How can they have morals when they spew out hate for their fellow man? To answer your question-Yes!

Answer 8

I think, believe and expect that a problem with this approach to teaching moral lessons is that devoting energy, space and time to imagination of myth about an evil one that inspires some to do evil acts leads members of communities of faithful believers to find and groom individuals to fill those bad roles. Members of communities of faithful believers may take an accusatory attitude towards and begin treating as evil some who do not conform to their satisfaction to a standard of conduct that ideological authorities proclaim to be the will of their good one. Maybe upon being told of the dissatisfaction of members, some would find that for self conformity to the standard of conduct that ideological authorities proclaim to be the will of a good one in heaven is impossible. Maybe some would interpret failure as evidence that self is evil in character, begin to believe self is evil and choose to act like evil people that ideological authorities present to communities of faithful believers as bad role models. Maybe in this way some would be conditioned by communities of faithful believers to identify with and emulate in their own lives bad role models. Maybe identification with and emulation of a bad role models within the minds and lives of some who follow this leadership would result in powerful emotion responses of sorrow, fear and anger and sad, mad and bad behavior that would be to the detriment of all in our global culture.

Answer 9

No, they realize that they have their own set of morals and live by them instead of living by someone else's.

Religion is just training wheels for morals or morals for dummies.

Once you have your moral set, you don't need someone else telling you what is right or wrong. You know it yourself.

Answer 10

They have morals, they juast happned to think for themselves and figure out their own morals and ethics unlike religious robots.
