Did you ever steal anything Dyresand? Did you ever do anything bad to anyone?

You see i know personally stealing is wrong and i had people steal from me. so i don't steal i'm not a dick. Its bad to wrong those who wrong you or wrong anyone.

That's a great comic and my heart swells with joy each and every time I see it come up in this thread.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Yeppers. Lek, who apparently can't think for himself, is just regurgitating from Ray "Banana Man" Comfort's playbook. ("Well, let's find out if you are a good person. Have you ever told a lie?")

Wait! You don't know where's that banana has been!

Up Ray Comfort's ass, which is just fine with christians; everything they believe was pulled out of some apologist's anal orifice.

Yeah. I'm sure you've heard that one way to tell for sure if a christian is lying is whether or not his lips are moving. I guess this time it's whether or not his fingers are moving on the keyboard.

Totally?

We don't need a god to tell us not to do bad things to other people. A combination of teaching and life experience taught us to understand that, even if we get away with it, it's not a good thing to do. We would not want someone doing things like that to us.

If we can manage this without a god, the god isn't relevant to the equation. Not for us, not for you. You people think that we become atheists because we have some active desire to pretend your god doesn't exist. On the contrary, it's because we don't see reason to think he exists, and we don't feel we're missing out because of the lack.

The problem is we can't keep from doing bad things to other people.

Lots of people keep themselves from doing bad things to other people. That's the defining point of being a good person.

"Bad things to other people." What counts?

Taking a parking spot I'm in line for even though it will totally inconvenience the guy behind me?

Eating beef even though that puts a pressure on the planet that isn't generalizable to the entire human population without major negative effects for us all?

Shall we cross all the t's and dot all the i's in every moment everywhere we go? Is this supposed to make for a fulfilling life .. or isn't that supposed to matter?
