Sounds pretty silly doesn't it.
Almost as silly as stating that because someone doesn't believe in God, there is nothing to stop them from committing rapes and murders.

No.. the fact is that all people are all born with a conscience and we all instinctively know when we have been wronged or when we have wronged others. we act as though we expect others to recognize this as well. even as children we knew the difference between "fair" and "unfair." it takes bad philosophy to convince us that we are wrong.

that is soooooo looonnnggg it cracked my glasses and made my eyes bleed. i didn't get very far but i noticed something right off the bat: God is obviously a fictional character <----- to you but not to a Christian. when you start like that all the rest is just as flawed. you say God did this and that. did it ever occur to you that perhaps Satan causes people to be pedophiles and murderers? also natural disasters are just that completely natural and totally disastrous. god doesn't cause them, nature, as in physical laws, does. you really don't know what you are saying. God lets each person sail their own ship. some are terrible captains. also there is no salvation for lie in wait murderers, while they live. God commands them to be put to death and He will hold court for their salvation and the right time. there is just too much wrong with your little rant to go through it completely right now so i'll stop here.

i believe "god" is the only reason most people don't do certain horrible things, and whether u believe in god or not, that's a great reason to keep him around. what would happen if we actually proved there is no god? most psychopaths are very experienced in the words of the christian bible, huh? without the fear people have of going to hell it would be a scarier place than it is already. i know some god fearing freaks are annoying but that christian religion could be one of the biggest reasons people are afraid to act on their impulses and i kinda like it that way. i challenge u to think of a better way to keep the general public in line.

No what stops me from commiting crimes is the fear that if there is no God, then there is nothing beyond this life. Yet if there is a God then everything I do is going to be presented for me to answer for.

Another question taken directly from the George Soros and company playbook. Can't you group-think, socialist drones ever come up with anything halfway original or well thought-out? I forgot, you really have no issues to stand on. It's all getting a bit tired. By the way...what are your favorite crimes?

no. nothing is stopping us not even god. just cuz we are christian does not mean we cant commit a crime. many people still commit crime as a christian but you just dont hear about it on the news and stuff.

No.
And yes, saying that would be pretty silly.
But that's not what most Christians are saying. What they're saying is that without God to give us a standard of morality, morality is relative. So...there's no such thing as right or wrong. Do what you want as long as it feels good, and as long as it doesn't harm others. Right?
Most morality is based upon societal norms, and what's good for the majority of society. But what happens if EVERYTHING is considered good for society, and societal norms state that nothing is immoral or detrimental to society? After hundreds of years of this, would we have the common sense to differentiate between right and wrong? I hope we never find out.

What stops me from committing crimes is that i dont want to. The older i get, the wiser i am that crimes hurt the person that commits it the most even if the evidence seems to point mostly to the victim. So everyone loses.

No, I have a conscience, I do not want to commit crimes, or hurt others, and there is this other thing called prison.

No, what's stopping me, A Christian, from committing crimes is the fact that I don't want to go to jail!

mdell 27 Ok here we go again, bash Christians time.
Believing in God isn't the only thing stopping me from committing crimes, but the Spirit of God in me corrects me if I do something to displease God my Father.
That is why I can say Holy Father u who r in Heaven; forgive those who wrong me, just as u forgive me when i do wrong to others, i am not perfect,only Christ is.
I have never raped anyone or murdered anyone in my life.
Why do u persist in lumping all Christians together & then throwning in a dirty bomb.
u sound like a terrorist 2 me.
