New to this board and want to know the rules? Have a question for atheists? Then you should probably read the FAQ (Updated: 3/19/15). It's not necessary, but don't be surprised if people ignore you if you don't elaborate further on a question already answered here, or the moderator does something you didn't expect.

It kind of sounds like it doesn't bother you now.

Get help. Lashing out violently won't solve your problems.
>do your worst
What do you expect us to do?

Because you are stronger than that shit. Humanity is stronger than they give themselves credit for. You don't need religion to do what you believe is the right thing.

Do you want to go around being a yolo dumbshit, or do you want to see the world truly better effected by your actions? It's not impossible to be an atheist and also be happy, it's just a different path to take in life. Like the previous anon said, seek help.

Besides, it's not like people ever accurately described what heaven was like.

Because for some reason atheists don't like to commit crimes. It's almost like morality doesn't necessitate religion.

Do you lack empathy? How would you feel if someone would beat you up?

And how is it beneficial to you if you kill anyone? They will kill you back for it to avenge their family members deaths.

If the only reason you're not killing anyone is because you want to get bonus points from God, that says a lot more about your morality as a theist than an atheist.

>i just have to use violence, its in our animal nature after all
Quite inconsistent with your statements. Just like you have no reason to be moral, you have no reason to act like an animal.

You're right, there's no external reason to be moral (except punishment for crimes though law and morality aren't mutually inclusive). Morality should be internal. Normally humans have an instinct to avoid hurting other humans, it's simply compelling to be a good person and it's also compelling to be accepted in a group and being moral usually helps.

Are asking us to convince you to be moral? Probably none of us can.

Are you saying that it's a flaw of atheism that it doesn't enforce morality?

OP thinks he has issues with atheists lacking morality, but in reality has sociopathy and the only thing stopping him is a fake sky daddy threatening him with hell. Way to go theist.

c4fe92 No.6733

>>6732
why SHOULD i be stopped? i live in a Capitalist society, not a socialist one, i have a Right to use violence against those who hoarde wealth. are you saying poor criminals are inmoral? No! its ok for them to commit crimes, theyre victims of capitalism, others have more than they.
youre focusing on authority, not on Liberty.-
theres no reason why i Should Not live freely

0ae0a1 No.6734

I take that back, maybe OP is an atheist, but serious call on either sociopathy or psychopathy. I suggest you seek therapy either way as you won't notice the same violent trend amoung most atheists.

>>6733
By killing another, you are interfering with THEIR rights, hence it is not your right just as it isn't their own to kill you outright.

Also no thanks for the strawman argument. I never discriminated between the poor or rich. What you're suggesting is capital revolution, not sick murder like you did in the OP. I can't get behind that either, at least not yet even here in the US.

More backpedaling, sage.

Because people will retaliate against you? There is no need for a divine commands for morality. Just the realization if you want to be treated well you should treat others well.

“The best index to a person's character is how he treats people who can't do him any good, and how he treats people who can't fight back.” - a quote written on my coffee cup.

Sure is nice treating the unfortunate well because it's how I would want to be treated, while knowing my meritous deeds no longer reward me as much as when I believed I would be rewarded for them in heaven. Now every meritous action feels like a concious choice that builds more character, and becoming who I want to be feels more profound when no wizards are pushing me.

I'm gonna go with Trashman on this one. I've committed all the murders I've wanted to: zero. I do what the fuck I want. I don't want to hurt people because I care about their experiences, particularly their capacity for suffering.

I have a serious question. I have always been atheist, unbaptized and shit, so I only know Christianity from the outside. pls no bully

Christians say "Jesus died for our sins". So why shouldn't I sin? I don't care because Jesus paid with his blood so I could sin.

aad78f No.7060

I used to say the same when I was in grade school. Now that I'm an adult and atheist, I've realized life is worth living for and it's worth treating well. Morality and religion are mutually exclusive.

>become atheist

You can't choose to be an atheist, a christian, etc. Belief isn't a choice. I can tell you to believe in Santa and you can say yes but it's not true belief or faith. You can't believe unless you've become convinced to believe. But to "become" something for which requires belief, you research it.

I took the bait, I know. But I answer just in case someone reads and has the same questions. Atheism is a non-prophet, decentralized "belief".

>if i become atheist, why Shouldnt i become a criminal too?

The question doesn't seem very meaningful. The hypothesis and the conclusion are totally unrelated.

Have you ever read about real ethics? There are dozens of ethical systems spanning centuries, and none of them requires religion. The idea that morality comes from god was in fact fabricated by Abrahamic religions. People, mostly religious people, lived normally for milennia without requiring that ethics was commanded by a god, and there's no evidence that the appearance of ethically-concerned theisms like judaism, christianity or islam actually improved human life and behavior.

>>6577

17% sounds unrealistic for the US, but your point is basically right. It is a fact that crime is inversely correlated with atheism and irreligion.

>17% sounds unrealistic for the US

You're right, at this point. It's closer to about 20%

>It is a fact that crime is inversely correlated with atheism and irreligion.

I think you meant "conversely".


2c19b7 No.8311

>>6577

Or maybe it's because atheists are more afraid of getting caught committing crimes. Religious people don't care about how much they fuck up this life as long as they go to heaven.


3c3f5f No.8315

>>8311

I don't see how that follows, but the point remains.
