IF life is unaccountable to any 'higher power' or GOD...and we have no intrinsic value as human beings (not created in God's image but just random meat-puppet animals) then life has no meaning and there really is absolutely ZERO penalty for living life any way we want to...murder, rape, torture etc...who cares? see what I mean? we can PRETEND to live a 'good' life...but there is absolutely ZERO reason why we should.

Hey Echoes!
How do you explain someone who has been an atheist for over 50 years and never have killed, raped or behaved violent in any way?
I think you need to see a shrink if religion is the only thing stopping you from raping and killing. You need help!

They still believe in god but wont admit it of course! Remember, fundies know you better then you do.
"but there is absolutely ZERO reason why we should."
How about the laws of the society in which you live? Just because there's no magic man in the sky watching you doesn't mean there's no consequences for your actions, dumbass.

You're absolutely right. I mean, it's not like we have laws or a government to enforce them or anything.
I fail to see how a lack of god is a reason to cause pain to anyone or to break the law. As I don't believe in god or heaven this life is all I have, I choose to make it a good one, and funnily enough that does not include murder and rape
Ye olde "But God made me speshull!!11!!" argument.
Yes, we're a bunch of apes. We make our own worth on this planet and most people seem to get along just fine.
Our communal nature is the result of millions of years of evolution. In general, it improves our chances of survival as a species. Individually, most of us realize that behaving like utter dickweeds isn't in our own best interest.
I'm actually frightened by the fact that the only thing keeping you and your buddies from taking on extreme antisocial behaviors is an imaginary sky fairy. Ever think of trying lithium?
My dog was not a random meat-puppet animal, you fucker.
And yes, you are totally right, except you have to answer to the law when you do bad things. You see, we don't need an imagined deity with eternal hell pointed at our heads, hovering over us like an ominous cloud, to make us do the right thing.
Yep, I'm an atheist because I want to live in a world where its OK to murder, rape, and torture people.
By the way, where the fuck does it say in the bible not to rape or torture? Cause most of what translated into neighbor actually meant fellow Jews.

Speak for yourself, dude.
yes, humans are not "special".
Life has what meaning you give it. Enjoy your life, have friends, do fun things, harm noone.
Zero penalty after death ? noone and I repeat Noone knows what happens after death, it may be the end , it may be a new beginning, noone knows.
Sure murder, rape and torture if that what you think is proper bahavior, after all, it is what your God has done. We who live in a society chose otherwise and have created laws and law enforcemant to keep the law breakers in check.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
