I mean, we can commit murder, we can steal, commit incest without no consequences, become gay, commit adultry, we can envy, we can do anything since theres no consequence. We can live life and die without no punishment for what we can do. So, there's no guilt in what we can do right?

i know only 2 of those are on the 10. But they still are reffered in the bible as wrong acts, and there is no offcial law of man.

There are still man's laws, the existence of god is irrelevant. By the way, only two of those are actually on the 10 commandments list.

Since only christians are bound by those commandments, anyone else is moraly free to ignore them. As a non-christain I can honestly say that I have broken all ten on multiple occasions over the course of the last 21 years. I also say that any governmental agency that has laws that are in line with those commandments are simply trying to enforce religious morality and those laws, in fact ALL laws that can be traced back to ANY religious moral or ethical codes should be abolished AND anyone that is not a follower of the religions where those laws come from should blatantly ignore and break them until that is changed especially in the US where the Supreme Court has stated that the system of laws and government used in america is based on the moral and ethical precepts of the Ten Commandments.

Apparently you have not been following the careers of those who claim God is real the most. Start with Ted Haggard and work backwards through the Evangelical Preachers. You can commit all of these offenses even if you believe God exists.
If you really think belief in God makes people good then why are Christians about 20 times more likely to end up in prison than Atheists are.

Yeah it's all true what you said, but it would also be true that the person who murders and commits the rest of those acts isn't morally a good person... Remember, even childrend how don't know the difference between right and wrong can still see the bad results of doing bad things and therefore not do them again.
An example would be.. sticking their hand in fire... most children after getting burned would want that pain again... so for an adult who doesn't believe in God... if he see the bad results of murdering, or has been lied to or robbed, knows of someone who has been raped, etc.... then a morally balanced person wouldn't do those things themselves
Hope I helped somewhat

Whats your basis for saying God doesn't exist? Because you can't see Him? Well I can't see you, only your words and since I can't see you does it mean that you doesn't exist? No. Same with God. We don't see Him but we have his words which are supposed to be a testament to how we are to live.
You only have no guilt when you have no conscience, and no conscience when you are a cold, heartless, selfish, immoral person. I don't think that's the kind of influence you want to have in society is it? You have been given free will to do whatever it is you want in this life so make sure you err on the side of caution in your actions because no matter what you do there will be consequences both on earth and in heaven.

No. do you realize that God made a sparkling set for Moses to modern to the human beings? This looks to show to the reality that He meant precisely what He wrote interior the 1st ones. Exodus 34 the hot Stone pills a million The LORD reported to Moses, "Chisel out 2 stone pills like the 1st ones, and that i will write on them the words that have been on the 1st pills, which you broke.

God gives us free will to choose to do any of these things whether you prove the existence of God or not a true Christian doesn't follow these laws because they are there, we follow these things to be more holy and pleasing to our God because we love Him so much.We are not saved by following the commandments we are saved by Jesus sacrifice and the Bible says all have sinned and come short of the glory of God it does not say Christians are perfect and will follow laws

Nope, its called the social contract,.
If you kill someone than the society will see you as a danger and terminate you.
Even with the 10 commandments all the things that you mentioned is still going on.
Crime is rampant in America.
Yeah there are man laws. Go to the police station and you will find man laws.

God has nothing to do with 10 commandments. Those are the rules created by men and not god. One more thing, even if we found the god, it won't affect our day-to-day living or style of living. But, if we found that there is no god, then there will be vast changes in the living style of people.

just prison sentences for the murder, stealing, incest
and possible death or dismemberment from those hurt by our adultry, murder, theft, incest
Most of the Ten Commandment Laws are found in just about every society so they must not be too far off the mark
