"that if God does not exist, athiests can do whatever they want, behave whichever way they wish and not be accountable to anyone in the end. If there is no heaven or hell and death is the end, they can be as selfish or self centred as they want, the universe can revolve around their own existance."
that is very shallow of you(only to those that apply). remember the saying: "thinkers are doers" at least i know im not that shallow. talk about pessimism. sigh this guy makes top ten of the most pessimistic, effortlessly

that was a quote from some christian who answered
"what is the logic behind atheism"

God has put us on this earth and given us the freedom to choose what we do and do not want to believe. True Christians respect other peoples choices. Judgemental people with no religious morals answer questions with a quote like what you have found.

No. A Christian, one who believes they should pursue the teachings of Jesus in their own life. That God loves all souls, and one is not to judge another. This way no offends and one is offended. I can only be offended if there is judgment. If I didn't look at another and break them down into what I didn't like and go on to "what I thought about that." I wouldn't have found offense. The key is to be positive in what is believed. Do whats right if it truly feels right, no question. It is near impossible to help a someone by telling them what not to do. Christ Wouldn't Behave In This Manner, Therefore The Quote You Are Questioning Is Not From A Christian.

Atheist or not, other arguments exist about karma. What what goes around comes around. From the laws of thermodynamics to chemistry, higher energy flows to lower energy and an equilibrium is established. Each action has a equal and opposite reaction. The idea is that if you do things that help others, a window will open that others will do things to help you. It has nothing to do with god, but balance in the universe.

I actually think atheists are very religious people. They have their own doctrines, their own prophets (or heros of their beliefs), their own books. Just have a look at Russia and China in their heydays. They were fanatics for their beliefs.

There is no logic behind atheism. It is an absolute negative.
Therefore indefensible logically speaking.

No, I will go out on a limb here and say that the majority of Christians do not believe that way.

There is no such thing as an atheist. The truth must hurt.

No... I can't help it but whenever the word "atheist" is mentioned, the phrase "material girl in a material world" comes automatically to my mind. Now, why is that?

Within all beliefs and disbeliefs there are people who live righteous and moral, and people who are selfish and material.

I know a lot of atheists that are the kindest most giving people you would ever meet. They view religion as a sham that's all.
