Christians: Hypothetically, if god didn't exist...?

Question

would you live by the same moral code you do now?

From the responses I received in my last question ("Life and after-life, reward and punishment?"), the answer would be yes.

If so, would you agree that morality and god are not exclusive?

Brandon, 2/3 of the world is not christian/catholic.

I guess no one from the previous thread decided to answer.

Too bad.

Answer 1

i agree that they are not exclusive, there are plenty that do not believe in God, or want to live by his guidelines. that are good moral people.

Answer 2

I once believed that God was just an imaginary friend for grown-ups. You know, the one you blame your failures on, the one you thank for your limited successes, the one you hope will support you in times of doubt and weakness. I believe that there is good and bad in every person, and that we are all inured with the ability to choose our own paths. I was raised a Catholic, which is probably the most proven formula to totally screw someone up for life. Anyway, I guess my thoughts on this subject still follow my old ways of thinking. I don't really know what I think about God at this point in my life, but, I still strive to be a good person and try to be a positive influence in the lives of others. Who knows, it might prove useful some day.

Answer 3

Actually without the notion of God we dont exist. We cant, as I've stated before it is impossible by scientific standards to evolve from nothing. With no infinite values in science and everything having a cause and effect then how do you justify your own state of existence when you say it evolved from nothing? So morality and God are always exclusive since everything evolved from God. If you disagree, then please explain to me in a scientific hypothesis how we came from nothing when we see everything in science having a cause and effect?

Answer 4

in accordance to Halacha(code of Jewish regulation), the in elementary words diverse faith which worships the similar God as us are the Muslims. in accordance to halacha, the god of the xtians isn't the similar as that of the Jews and the Muslims. Xtianity were given right here into being through combining Jewish philosophies with Zorastrian and Greek paganism. Islam then observed through Muhammed's declare that he replaced into visited through the angel Gabriel and given the subsequent algorithm, ending up what Moses and Jesus began(In his view). From the Jewish options-set, both Xtianity and Islam are considered as fake doctrines, even with the straightforward shown actuality that a sharp destinction is made between both. Islam is taken under consideration as a faux doctrine on the concern of the worship of God. Forbidden for Jews to practice through that is falsehood, yet now no longer considered as idolatry. Xtianity, on the diverse hand, is taken under consideration shrink than Jewish regulation to be a heathen faith, and that is church residences considered temples of Idol worhip, with each and every of the a recommendations-accomplishing implications.

Answer 5

Agreed. In fact, I would go so far as to say that God created Morality.

Answer 6

That is a hard one to answer because most of the morals people follow are christian based morals.

Answer 7

there is no such thing as christian based moral. they are all normal morals that doesnt need a god to do.

i guess christians will become criminals since most say that atheists live a pessimistic life, since there is no afterlife (which is untrue)

Answer 8

Morals are God made not man made so I guess I'd try to do what I thought was right.

Answer 9

That's really not a question that can be answered. That's like asking if you'd be the same person now if you were born to a different set of parents.

Answer 10

no because you would not believe in any thing if there was no god
