If there is no God, then, one may ask

[Brian37]

Here is a question that is troubling me: if there is no God, then, one may ask, who governs human life and, in general, the whole order of things on earth?

Stuck on a magical "who" instead of considering nature including human behavior as a process.

"all this" is a result of a "what" not a cognitive who.

who governs human life

Stupid question.

Humans govern each other because we evolved to be social animals. We certainly have not, as a species always governed compassionately, but evolution did that because we evolved to be BOTH compassionate and cruel.

the whole order of things on earth?

Wow, another retarded unscientific statement.

Jupiter has a weather pattern and so does Neptune and even the sun, they just don't support life, just like most of the universe.

You want to stick an ancient concocted myth into the gap after the fact of knowing we don't need your superstition to explain biological life or that of the universe.

You'd have us believe that a non material invisible sky hero stuck us on this tiny dot in a hostile universe? Sorry but my brain wont allow me to swallow such unimaginative childish fantasy.

1) The Atheists have no idea of whether the God, afterlife, soul exist.
2) The Atheists have a principal or a position unless an evidence is put to their face they will not accept that the afterlife exists and it puts the atheists on the cockroach level, the cockroaches have no clue about God either...
3) The Atheists are loving to be refering to the scientific studies, kind of that white light is not white, but is made up of seven colours to prove the point and it gets them nowhere.
4) The Atheists tend to believe they can make deals, contracts, stipulations with God, i.e. they will believe asap they pull the God's beard or grab his testicle.
5) The Atheists know that the atheists descended from the Ape, the other part of the humanity puts that perspective under suspicion as it is still not proved whether the apes descended from man or otherwise. Nothing is proved, all is permitted.
6) The Atheists think they are governing something or have control over their studies, researches, truth discovering, eyes opening whilst they they are unable to say what they are going to do this same evening.' Man is mortal, but that would be only half the trouble. The worst of it is that he's sometimes unexpectedly mortal - there's the trick!

I couldn't understand a thing you said.

...You first have to show that there is indeed an order to the world that is governed by one single entity and not an order that resulted from the meddling of many different entities.

Actually, the first thing you need to show is that there is some kind of order.

I'm not sure her proposition wasn't two-part.

Perhaps missing a ";".

Conversely, if there IS a god, one can ask "why are you such an evil, misogynistic piece of shit?"

...and try to knee him in his spectral groin.

...and try to knee him in his spectral groin.

I don't think the god of the Abrahamic beliefs has any balls.

Most of the evil he's done he had other people do for him, but in his name.

He even had to have a proxy knock up another man's wife for him . . .

Laws of physics do.

I prophesie a bait and switch is about to happen...

Everyone wants to jump on my prophet bandwagon these days. I knew it would happen, of course, but maybe I ought to put some kind of "beware of cheap imitations" warning up there.

I predict you won't do that.

I'll answer positively. Who controls everything if not God? I do. I just happen to choose not to control you in any way that would demonstrate the fact that I am in control of everything. I'm a goddess, but a shy one. I only smile in the dark.

Prove me wrong. Prove that I don't control everything.

[Cyberman]

I predict you won't do that.

You're the goddess; you're allowed.
