If you don't believe in God, does that mean that you don't have any problems murdering people???

Jeez, I didnt expect this response. Being an atheist myself, I see TONS of questions like this one...I was just pointing out how horribly illogical they are.

I do have a problem actually. Everytime I try, I just clam up. I don't know if it's the thought of all that blood I'll have to clean up, or because I'm paranoid about cops, but I just can't follow through with it. I wonder if they'll come up with a drug to ease my anxiety.

I spotted the sarcasm right away because you labeled it as such.
However, without that, it would have been impossible to know it was sarcasm, because this foolish idea has been brought out many times before.
It basically rests on the assumption that human beings are basically evil, and demands that one be unable to even imagine the possibility of a moral code that doesn't spring from the Creator. While it assumes that in the absence of God that Man is merely another animal, it overlooks the fact that most animals don't wantonly kill their own kind.
Your sarcasm would require one to believe that Man is a totally different creature depending on a belief in God. I can assure you that nothing else in the Universe changes its nature based on a belief in God. Airplanes will still fly if none of the passengers believe in aerodynamics.
By the way, I do happen to believe in God, I just don't believe in the value of drivel as proof of anything other than the existence of drivel.

I don't get the logic of your answer. I'm not an atheist, but I don't think the God of Abraham is anything more or less than the mythology before or since.
How does belief in God have anything to do with murder? It seems that all the murderers have no problem believing in God; go to any prison and up and down Death Row, you find everyone professing their belief to highest heaven.
I think people who don't believe in some 'second chance sweepstakes' value this life more, rather than less.
Think about it.

If grants certainty, and get away from believing some thing that leads you down a process pointless worshiping, and disgustingly evil human beings. each situation approximately faith is ****** up, and atheists understand that. Atheism grants human beings fairly enlightenment, and freedom from the guilt from their so spoke of as "God". It provides them a clean existence to stay, and a clean expertise. Atheism provides existence secret, and new the right thank you to appreciate how we got here into being, fairly than telling one yet another to no longer have faith evolution, and to no longer watch this movie or examine this e book. faith limits the way we expect of, and that may no longer healthful for an increasing society, and it fairly won't enable our society evolve totally, or properly. Its no longer in easy terms recuperating human beings's lives, however the society at super.

normally sarcasm has some sense of cleverness to it, or wit. This is just a stupid comment.
If the only reason we are not allowed to murder is because it is in the bible, then why does it say in every religion that murder is wrong? Why is it that every civilization in history has a ban on most types of murder? (ok there are some in which it is justified under certain situations).
You make yourself look silly trying to insult people that have thought alot more about their faith than you have...
edit: so obviously you were trying make fun of Christians? the above sentence still applies then...

How is that sarcasm? I think you need to look up the definition.
My response to the question asked would be "No. Is your religion the only thing holding you back from committing such crimes?"

So, do you want a sarcastic answer such as "I have no problem if it is someone asking this kind of question" or do you want a realistic answer such as "There are more reasons to not kill someone other then God.If God is the only reason why people don't kill each other then there are some really sick and twisted people out there"....?

It's always a problem when I murder someone... What to do with the body , the mess to clean up, the water-tight alibi... Problems problem problems... It's almost not worth murdering in the first place....Almost...
