I always hate that argument. Why be a decent human without the threat of eternal damnation? I mean that threat doesn’t seem to stop a vast number of religious people from being unbelievably cruel to their fellow humans, so…
“Why even be good if there’s no heaven?”
They are actually absolutely right. Because I don’t believe in heaven, I’m exactly as evil as I want to be
I sexually assault and murder exactly as much as I want to, and that amount is zero… ok, at least the sexually assault part
murder exactly as much as I want to
Uh… You mean animals and plants and stuff, right?
…right?
Tacos. Absolutely murder me some tacos.
Its scary that people need hell to not commit crimes and stuff like that.
As an atheist I can’t tell you how many Christians have asked me why I don’t just rape and murder people if I don’t believe in hell. Tells me everything I need to know about that POS.
If I need hell to control my behavior I might as well be running around doing this
which frankly sounds better
Agreed. If the only that stops some people from committing crimes is the threat of supernatural punishment, then they have the morality of an insect.
