Christians, if we proved that God really doesn't exist (and never did)....?

Question

Would you go around looting and killing and raping people, would you just kill yourself?

Or would you pretty much go on as normal, just with a newfound sense of power and responsibility for your own future???

Because I've had alot of Christians tell me that without God we can't be good.... which makes me think they are bad people already. Doesn't God say, if you think it then you have already done it and so you are a sinner? So that means if you know you would be a bad person if He didn't exist, then you already are a bad person?

Everytime I ask a question people make assumptions... like I'm a Satanist (I'm not) and that in implying there is no God then that means there is nothing. My question did not hypothetically state that there is no afterlife.
People seem to think that it's either God and Heaven or no God and nothingness.

Why can't there be more than two choices?

Answer 1

Don't know, but as it is a hypothetical question it is really irrelavent, because nobody has proven one way or the other.

Answer 2

I think a few of you who have answered this question need to find a dictionary and look up the word HYPOTHETICAL. The question is IF god was proved to not exist...

And as there is not evidence that there was a divine prophet named Jesus, how is that proof that God exists? Just because a book says so, doesn't make it true. If it did, it would mean that there are unicorns, and hobbits, and a gret big ape called King Kong.

Answer 3

I think you are missing the point about what we believe God is. God is good. God is the creator of all goodness. God can be found in all that is good. This is what I believe. If you were able to "prove" there is no God, then I would be forced to realize that goodness exists without a God being responsible for it. It would not change how I feel about goodness in general.
Also, my belief in God does not prevent me from having a sense of power and responsibility about my future. God has blessed my spirit with all the power it needs to survive. God has definitely placed in my hands the responsibility to make choices, and to live the life that he has given me.

Answer 4

We are ALL sinners, born into the world with the sin nature. That's why we have to resist tempations. You see (according to the scriptures) there are two types of sinners (1) The Forgiven, and (2) The Unforgiven.

You see, (physical) were not perfect, JUST FORGIVEN, and any believer that says they PERFECT is a liar and the truth is not in them.

Repentance is a turn-around. It's a stopping of doing the things we use to do, before we surrendered our life and will to Jesus.

However, because we are flesh, and still possess the physical humanm nature of sin.

We still face the temptations of the flesh. The difference is that we resist (or should resist) the temptation, and not give in to it.

Even the Apostle Paul who wrote most of the New Testament wrote in Romans 7:18-25;

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

Answer 5

Good question. You're right, a lot of christians seem to be under the impression that without religion we would all be monsters. It kind of makes you wonder what they are hiding about themselves, doesn't it? What would they do if they weren't so afraid of offending god and being sent to hell? Maybe we SHOULD be grateful to religion to protect us from them.

Isn't it amazing how many people don't even bother to read the question before answering?

Answer 6

You ought to read "God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything" (Hardcover, CD and available from Audible.com)
by Christopher Hitchens
Best argument against organized religion I've ever read.

Answer 7

Because you have no belief in God and you are a member of the satanic group, you are inclined to go around loothing and killing and raping women and rob bing rich people.

You are definitely describing yourself as a bad person. so be it.

Christians will never do what you are stating.

Answer 8

they are all bad people to begin with. Oh and very weak because even though they do believe in god they still sin, so without it they would be regular little devils. Good point though.

Answer 9

Without God, we can't be good? How then do you define "good"?

In the first place, it's gonna be a very sad thing if God never existed. If it was so, then we wouldn't have existed as well.

Answer 10

The real good and the real bad take meaning only by God
