A true atheist would not post this question.
It is possible that an Atheist could commit immoral acts, but they don't... why you ask? It is human nature to not commit immoral acts, not gods will.
Also there is such a thing called law, or did you not realize that you would get arrested for doing something against the law?

You'd better stay religious if you have such low moral character and need an invisable friend to keep you straight. Atheists have high moral character and will do the right thing even if no one is watching.
Only teen agers think being an atheist is the easy way. Eitherr you're a kid or you think like one. Go back to believing that Santa Claus will bring you toys if you are good or society will suffer from atheists like you.

A new atheist? No one is a "new atheist" because everyone is born an atheist. What you say cannot possibly be true unless you're an infant. An infant cannot run or commit immoral acts so your question has no meaning.

The same reason people cherry pick the bible. Most morals are innate, or a product of evolution. Many other morals are a product of the Higher mind (as in above eat/sleep) also there is empathy, legal ramifications, self endangerment.

If you want people to take revenge and thus perpetuate the cycle on YOU and YOUR family, then go right ahead.
If you don't, then do the smart thing and don't hurt other people.
So, its a very obvious choice... be stupid... or be intelligent. I choose intelligent, how about you?"

Why should you, are you a sociopath who enjoys causing pain, truly if you were a Christian and the only thing keeping you from hurting people was hell then that makes you the bad person, not I.

I dont know, why shouldn't you. You have decided to be against God, and so according to God, you are now His enemy; you might as well follow after your leader, and cause as much damage as possible, before you are put away.

Why should you?
But, I think I see your point: you're saying that a belief in God is the only thing that stands between you an utter nihilism.
That says a lot about you, doesn't it?

Because you have your consciences ...... unless you don't have it, that would be another thing ...... of course it would help if you have brains too ......
