Nice train of thought, but wrong.
Humans still have to function within society and culture. It was much easier to get an uneducated, superstitious culture to follow the rules if they believed that they were handed down by a higher power. As a race though, we've got the tools to advance beyond those superstitions, and create a system of laws that are not grounded in faith, but logic. If those 2 meet in the middle, all the better.

no! I don't believe in god, but you still have to consider that other people are looking out from there body just like you from yours. So everything is permissable that doesn't harm anyone else. :)

Yes that's right, if there is no God then there is no moral absolute and therefore no laws, no one can charge a rapist for doing what he wanted to do, you can kill whomever you want w/o any consequences because you are your own god and in your mind that murder was totally okay therefore it was totally okay. Most humanist do not follow there thinking all the way out, they just think that "as long as it doesn't hurt anybody it's okay" but who's to define hurt?
Okay more trick or treaters are here.

Wrong - we are people. We live in a society. We live on a single planet. We can decide to have rules to live by to help everybody have the opportunity for a good life. We can make up our own rules. We don't need someone to hand them down to us.

Sure, you can have Anarchy I guess. Or you could go with the notion that you should live your life and treat others the way you want to be treated.
Even without religion, cultures can have social and ethical morels. That generally helps people choose in their daily lives.

Aside from the fact that there is a very real God, there is also a social code, and anything way outside of the social code is unacceptable. But we don't need to worry about that, since God was, and is, and is to come!

No, even though God says that he will forgive you for your sins there is a condition with that. You must have a repentant heart. Doing any and everything is the work of someone who cares only for themselves therefore they would have no reason to feel repentance.
To repent is to acknowledge where you are wrong, ask for forgiveness and stop doing that which is wrong.

Nope.
See, it's just that I don't go out and rob and murder you because I feel it's WRONG, in and of itself, to rob and murder. I don't behave nicely toward you because a sky god told me to.
But if the only thing holding YOU back from a murderous rampage is your belief in that god, then by ALL means, hold onto your belief. And don't move into my town!

I agree totally. If there is no God, you are accountable to no one for your actions. That's one reason evolution is so easy to accept. If everything in the universe just came about by blind chance, you do not have to answer to a Higher Power. Do whatever you feel like doing.
