Seriously. Without God do you think we would just go nuts and start killing, stealing, raping and become slobbering animals?

No! I don't believe in God but I have a sense of right and wrong! You said it, we have big brains, and we should use it to think about what is right or wrong!
The reason why she should not kill and do other harm to our fellow human beings is that we are all human and all feel pain and all have their rights, it is not for God but for us. We should keep up morals for each other.

No, because people have reason. We can come to the conclusion that there are moral and immoral acts. So, subscribing to atheism does not mean you are subscribing to no ethics.
Proof: We can look at communities that never have heard of god and they still have a sense of right/wrong. Sure, they may seem like they carry-out some immoral behavior from our perspective, but they aren't killing, sealing, raping animals.

Actually it would be the complete opposite. Religion has killed far more people than it has helped. Think of any religious war, 9/11, Jihad, the KKK, extremests, the inquisition, the holocaust, bigotry, oppression of gays, etc...
On the other hand, it has been scientifically proven that morality and values arise just the same without religion. This is not an opinion it is an observable phenomenon.
Think about it, how many atheist terrorists do you see?

If there is no God, then there is no absolute right and wrong.
A different perception of right and wrong called relativism would be in place. People would base right and wrong on what society thinks.
Society is fickle and changes with the passage of time. It might be possible that we'd start killing, stealing, raping, and slobbering, and society might say it's alright.
Yet, we know in our hearts that it's not. Why is that?
Seek the Truth everyday.

we are created in His image no longer from His mind's eye. subsequently we has actual type yet is a proper, immortal being. he's male. The scriptures do call Him Father, Abba, and so on., with the intention to assume he's male. some have argued that the female substitute into created 2d and implied that they are 2d class creations. this could make it sound like the female is only a extremely altered form of guy. i've got self belief the female substitute into created from the rib of guy to instruct that she is guy's equivalent. Gender could exist in Heaven for why does it exist right here? when you consider that there's a Father in Heaven, why no longer a mom in Heaven? the female might have been created in her image by utilising God. enable's additionally know the female substitute into the final great paintings of God during the creation.

No...if you compare our brains with that of other mammals, you will notice that the areas that complex or higher cognitive thinking take place are quite larger on humans. Other mammals have larger sensory areas such as that of smell, but in the areas of higher thinking there is no comparison. We are able to organize rules that we understand benefit us as a group and enable everyone to live better longer lives.

Firstly without God there would be no us. However, taking the assumptive point of view, even animals have their own "codes of ethics", which govern how they get along. It would therefore follow that we, with our Big Brains and strong sense of survival would develop systems to control our behavior.

Probably. The point is we are parts and Parcels of God we are little and He is Big. He is the Supreme and we are the sons and daughters of God. Animals are also His sons and daughters but they are covered by illusion. If one acts like an animal and misuses their free will they will become an animal in their next life. Animals eat sleep mate and defend and so do humans but we are given the intelligence to question our existence. If we don't and don't make any spiritual advancement back to animal or even lower species. Its the law of nature. go to http://www.stephen-knapp.com for universal truths.

No - people of different religions and of no religion share many of the same morals. The overwhelming majority of earth dwellers believe it is wrong to kill another human, steal, rape, molest children, etc. Human nature has a moral code built in.

lol why do you think that. people have feelings, empathy is one of them, and empathy is your ability to feel anothers pain and sympathise with it. therefore if you have empathy (which obviously not everyone has it as there are still some who murder) then why would u put someone else in pain. has nothing to do with god. perhaps you could speak foryourself there, if you didnt have god would u go nuts and rape and kill? common sense man...
