Are us Atheists simply better people than Theists because we dont need the hell threat to be good?

Answer 1

No true goodness can come from fear.

Answer 2

In addition to possessing superior intelligence and good looks, Atheists are born with pure souls. The are born with the intellectual and emotional ability to know right from wrong. Atheists do not suffer from the same birth defect as Christians who, by their own admission, are born with sinful souls and impure hearts.

That is the reason there are virtually no Atheists in jail or prison. Atheists do not commit crimes. Almost 100 percent of all violent and sexual criminals are believers.


And, if there is a God, then Atheists are certainly the best of his creation and must be is favorites. If there is a heaven, then Atheists will be exalted above all others (especially conservative Christians).

If you want to find me, I will be at St. Peter’s Topless Bar & Casino partying with America’s Founding Fathers and a few dozen angel-babes – If you want to find the conservative Christian gang, they will be working at Lucifer’s Laundromat washing God’s underwear.

Answer 3

i love it even as every person does great things because it really is how human beings could be. We Christians do no longer declare to have a monopoly on doing good, in reality, we believe the bible verse which tells us that 'our righteousnessess are as filthy rags. This shows that we now have not some thing to boast about yet we could continuously proceed to do good although. examine Isaiah sixty 4:6 in case you would possibly want to pick to work out the precise wording from the King James version. "yet we are all as an unclean ingredient, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and all of us do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away." Or, in case you pick the recent international version it reads like this:- Isaiah sixty 4:6 "all individuals are growing like human being who's unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; all of us shrivel up like a leaf, and prefer the wind our sins sweep us away."

Answer 4

Christianity is not about been good, not at all. Thats the wrong mentality of most of the "christians." Is imposible to be good. The Bible says "only God is good."


The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector
9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: 10"Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11The Pharisee stood up and prayed about[a] himself: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.'13"But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.' 14"I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

Answer 5

Peace!
The "threat" of hell, as you called it, is not what stops me from commiting a sin. It is the fact that if I sin I will damage my relationship with God. It is the same thing as our personal relationships. I don't want to commit adultery because it will offend my wife whom I love very much.
Have a nice day!

Answer 6

I choose to believe that most Thiests do not do and believe in good because they fear punishment or hope for being rewarded, I also choose to believe that all people are created equal and that whether or not you believe in a higher prescence is in no way a judgement of you or makes you in any way a 'better' or 'worse' human being.

Answer 7

It would seen that way to listen to the remarks that Christians make.

Actually I find the secular humanists to be far more Christ like than many of the Christians I see.

love and blessings Don

Answer 8

What a stupid thing for that Blaize dude to say. there's no such thing as a good atheist.... i'm a fine example of a good atheist

Atheists know wrong from right... just as people who believe in God know wrong from right.

the choice to do what is right is up to you, atheists do right to be happy with themselves.... not to impress someone else (god)

Answer 9

People don't need the hell threat to be evil either.good vs evil, now there's a thought.

Answer 10

a group of people are never "better" than another group of people. That is decided on an individual level.

However, I believe that we are a smarter group because of our beliefs and are stronger as individuals

Answer 11

We are better because we simply are. We don't waste time and energy provoking our minds with questions that have no answer.
