A. Jesus died for your dirt(rape, murder, steal, cheat, ect.) So, if you murder 1000 innocent people, say you're sorry and really mean it and ask for forgiveness, you can still go to heaven
B. Man has to fix man's problems. This is the only life so we must cherish it. Treat others like you want to be treated.

Self righteous? Smugly moralistic and intolerant of the opinions and behavior of others?
I'd have to go with A on this one, Mr. or Ms. Reality.

Answer A is next to impossible. It is simply a parlor trick used by unbelievers to show that God couldn't possible by a just God by allowing such a thing to happen. The Bible teaches that if a man rejects God's laws (including murder) then their heart will become callous and they won't choose to turn to Jesus. Your Answer A is assuming that a person who committed 1000 murders has turned to Jesus Christ for forgiveness. While the Bible does leave the possibility open to every wild imagining non-believers can think up, it also explains what happens inside of a man's heart when that man chooses to reject God's laws over and over again.
Answer B leaves out a higher moral authority that man is required to answer to. This "void" causes man to become selfish and think of themselves. Everything you state in Answer B comes from a self centered prospective. Only when man gives up his own will and strives to conform to God's will, then man will truly serve each other in love and self sacrifice.
What about Answer C? When a man makes peace with his own creator by receiving the gift of forgiveness for sin, and places his life in God's hands. Then as God allows that man to look out upon the world and see it as He does, that man will roll up his sleeves and get about doing God's work on the earth. Living a life of self sacrifice and giving. Being a servant to others.

ok, seem at what you're doing right here.... you're criticizing Atheists and asserting they are all suicidal, depressed, susceptible, susceptible-minded, merciless and so on and so on... and you're saying Atheists are the undesirable ones who're terrible to human beings???? possibly you could think again what you assert... whether, the only distinction between an Atheist and a Believer is the perception in God. that's it, not something greater. Now, directly to those very offensive and extremely generalized assaults at Atheists. I even have been an Atheist for about 5 years now after being raised a Christian. i might could say one reason i'm proud to be an Atheist is by using the fact the those that I even have come throughout the time of surely think of and communicate and placed rational theory into what they have confidence. I do have debates and discussions with theists yet its because of the fact I even have considered and consistently run throughout the time of theists that have on no account had their ideals challenged and that they have got on no account had to think of roughly their place (which i think of is against the regulation). human beings could be puzzled approximately what they have confidence and for this reason I relish conversing to human beings of all faiths because of the fact it demands that I additionally seem complicated at what i've got confidence. On yet another word, I even have considered greater hatred and exclusion from non secular human beings then I ever have from atheists. that is between the excuses as a newborn I struggled with my faith because of the fact I consistently observed many human beings not working in direction of what they carry forth and have been so terrible to human beings and used their Bible to justify this hatred. So do not take a seat up on your extreme horse and tell me i'm a terrible guy or woman because of the fact i'm an Atheist. based on your comments right here I assure you which you haven't any concept what it ability to be an Atheist and that i might surely project to wager that i understand greater approximately your guy or woman faith then you incredibly do as I additionally seem to return throughout the time of very oftentimes. next time think of in the previous you submit some thing like this.

how about this:
A: you realize God is just and fair and know that unless your life is lived for him you burn, and thus live a good and holy life serving the world around you.
B: There is no God and thus no right or wrong, so you do whatever you like (stealing, lying, ensuring the std epidemic stays strong, and neglecting anyone who cant do anything for you), and in short do what makes you feel good.

B. Every time. But I know for a fact some people will choose A, probably accompanied by a defensive statement.
Enjoy.

B is the more ethical and self responsible philosophy.
A is something only understood by those who believe it. an outsider to the concept might wonder how anyone could be so irresponsible and infantile as to desire that someone else pay for their mistakes.

Both are true.
We are to treat others the way we wish to be treated. But even if we fail and we ALL do, we can be forgiven if we repent.

I believe in God, but I'm not a Christian, a Muslim. There should NOT be blood shed in order to clean sin. "B" works more correctly according to my beliefs, I'm in account for my own actions, and it says in the Qur'an that no one burden's another one's sin. Confirming your point, Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) said: "Love for your brother, what you love to yourself".
B IT'S!
