"To atheists" |
|
Here is a question to all atheists posting on Dreamviews. |
|
"To atheists" |
|
Why address it to atheists? It's because atheists have also posted threads with specific questions only for Christians or Creationists. You don't see me whining about that, do you? |
|
So your mother taught you, if you torture someone you go to hell. If it is ever shown that hell doesn't exist you would then torture and kill someone for money? |

The worst thing that can happen to a good cause is, not to be skillfully attacked, but to be ineptly defended. - Frédéric Bastiat
I try to deny myself any illusions or delusions, and I think that this perhaps entitles me to try and deny the same to others, at least as long as they refuse to keep their fantasies to themselves. - Christopher Hitchens

You seem to not comprehend the BASIC essence of what almost every atheist I know thinks and does. There ARE negative consequences for my actions. People suffer. I don't want people to suffer, which is what I stated in my previous post. I wouldn't do it because I do not want people to suffer. That's it. Simple. |

I'm an atheist but that doesn't affect my own answer to the question. As a person with morality, I would choose purposefully to keep using it even when offered material goods - my lack of guilt is worth far more than money. |

We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

No. I would have to live with the horror of inflicting that much pain and suffering on another human being, and especially for such a flippant "reward." No amount of money in the world would be able to drive out the horror. |
|
The "golden rule" has little value if we are not being punished for our actions. If there is no consequence, then why shouldn't I do it? If I need the money, I would do it. |
|
Again, it's not about the consequences. It's that most of us actually want good for others instead of only wanting good for ourselves (access to heaven for example, by helping others, as the christian view promises) |
|
Well, this is the worst thread I've ever seen, well done. |
|
So you're saying that if you didn't think you would be punished, you would torture people? What kind of a horrible person are you?! |
|
No one has to say its not right, it doesnt have to be declared for it to be wrong or right. It just isn't. Where do religious people get their morals? |
|
A simple google search would've told you that but since you're too lazy to do that, the people in this thread can enligthen you. |
