If God was a lie, what crime would you not commit?

Question

And Why?

Answer 1

I live my life as if God does not exist (I wouldn't go so far as to say you are lying, only naive). Other than the occasional parking ticket, I've lived a crime free life. How about you, God-guy....what crimes have you committed?

Answer 2

I believe in God,but if I didn't I would still not commit crime.

Answer 3

There has to be an absolute ideal about anything in order to base a judgment on or to discern anything. For example murder is wrong and we should not steal. Where do those principles come from. Even a child when you point out that they stole a toy from school and explain to them what they did wrong will have a sense of shame and remorse.

As the creator of the Universe, the God of the Bible created man in his image. Romans 2:15 tells us that the "law written in their hearts".

Everyone has that base in their heart.

"For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the meanwhile accusing or else excusing one another. Rom. 2: 14,15.

"All men, everywhere, know themselves to be free and responsible moral agents. They know they are accountable for their deeds. They know this because the moral nature with which God has created them testifies to them of these truths. Some men deny this and claim that man's conscience, his knowledge of right and wrong, and his ideas of responsibility and accountability are not really innate revelations of his nature, but are merely learned and changeable convictions, acquired through reading the Bible, through religious instruction, or through the influence of society and environment.

"But in spite of what some men say, the fact remains that all men know intuitively that they are responsible and accountable for their actions. An absolute standard of right and wrong is revealed and apparent to all men. Man's moral agency and his responsibility and accountability are so apparent that he cannot rationally deny them. He can no more deny them than he can deny his
existence." (1)

"Human beings are not simply "religious, strangely imbued with a capacity for spirituality," as it is said today. We are actually God-conscious. Not only knowledge but moral sense is possible because we know God already.

"Though it is perfectly true that human beings have God's revelation, it does not follow that they process it correctly. Again, according to Romans 1, though we refuse to acknowledge him or give him thanks." (2)

Answer 4

Crime has nothing to do with god. It is just common sense not to commit it.

Answer 5

i feel God is a lie but it's not ok to commit a crime. that's just ridiculous if you ask me. neither one have anything to do with eachother.

Answer 6

No, because I know there is a God who reigns in heaven.

God is the only one who knows all from the beginning, present and future with all the answers. Man cannot make that claim and just like to make lies and create theories to refuse the existence of the Lord.

Answer 7

Im sorry but god is not a lie!!!! but i will never murder anyway because i dont think anyones life needs to be ended early.

Answer 8

I believe that goodness exists independently from God. Right and wrong exist, even if God does not.

Answer 9

if God is the only thing preventing you from commiting crimes, praise be to him/her.

Answer 10

Every society, God or no God, has its own set of rules known to the members of that society. Those societies will not do certain things. Most will not kill someone who is helpless. That would be my limit. I would not needlessly kill someone who is helpless irregardless of their age.
