I'm curious as to why you would think that.
I mean that what holds people back from doing horrible things like murder besides the law is fear of being punished in the afterlife. I should have phrased it as if the world had no religion or belief in anything after death rather than true atheist. Though it would be one in the same. If everyone truly believed that once you are dead, you cease to exist in any form forever, they would risk doing alot more in life.
I know if I were god I'd perform a miracle, I'd make sure that coast-to-coast and border-to-border everyone heard the Divine answer to all prayers:
STFU! I can't take any more of this whining!
I agree! If people sat back and realized that they are either talking to themselves in their heads or speaking to the air and nothing is listening, they may re-think doing it. It kills me when I hear for example that during a tornado, "God spared my home" and "praise the lord for saving my family" while the next house over was destroyed and killed the family inside. It is amazing how self-important people make themselves and actually believe a god is listening.
The most senseless prayer is after someone dies and people say I will pray for you. WTF is that going to do even with a God? God according to the bible which man wrote only killed and resurrected himself.
WAIT..sorry, I forgot about the $1000 prayer donation you can make on god tv. That is the dumbest prayer except for the people stealing your money.
Has anyone thought about how horrible it would be to be god? It would be at least 13.8 billion years old and would have to keep track of billions of people over time listening to billions of prayers and keeping track of who is good and who is bad.
