can atheism work without God and what would that society be like?

[best.buys]

without a moral lawgiver [God] in a true atheistic society with all the evolutionary doctrine acceptable. if then everybody's view/point/understanding is then relative

would rape be legal?

killing off those who are a burden to society, the handicapped, blind, down syndrome be encouraged?

what about the elderly?

infanticide?

and would gays be worse off since they don't contribute to mans upward evolutionary struggle?

to who's standard would society look to?

since so many posters on here don't like God so much have you truly considered what would happen?

this one's for you bob or at least in reverse to your normal topics.

[the_bob_delusion]

should not have said dumb sorry.

back to the topic, if you want a pick on the Christian thread start one.

 Sure, I like to know where you think our morals come from. How do we decide what's right and what's wrong?

[best.buys]

I want the atheists to tell me bob, not the other way around

[best.buys]

thank you ellie, I cant seem to get that across

[joz*garage]

it's about whether society would be capable of governing itself if there were no God.

i find that amusing

gav, who are the atheists on here, i dont see any?

[newstart2380]

thanks for that newstart there is a God, so there. see I am just as intelligent as an atheist.

we r all entitled to our own opinions, mine is that there is no god but the industry certainly keeps a lot of people employed. No one said you are not intelligent but to say that me thinks you must have some doubts.

[best.buys]

joz writing non believer in God takes up to much time. if you don't believe in the Creator God doesn't leave to many other options?

[best.buys]

no idea what your talking about newstart, God has no industry. lot of people use His Name for lots of things. what you need to do is read His Word and then deciede if they are following His Word or their own words.

well, there are a diverse variety of non believers, buddhists for example or someone like me who doesnt follow any religion religiously

[best.buys]

but this thread was not aimed at them, although all ideas are welcome, most of the worlds religions do have a initial creation story.

[monman12]

I am a devout Atheist, so consideration of any sort of deity is a waste of my time.

GO: "its a science that continually gets caught out in lies"  Actually GO it is science that reviews all and any theories (lies) and will eventually illuminate those that are thought not be plausible (true).

"this thread is not about whether or not there is a God or whether we evolved or were created - it's about whether society would be capable of governing itself if there were no God."

It has managed so far, sans a god, certainly with  warts but managed (survived).
