Morality versus afterlife

[ktrap]

This is a question for anyone who thinks morality "comes from God".

If you knew there was no afterlife, that you're dead and gone no matter what happens in this life, would you continue to follow "morality from God"? Or would you then ignore it, and decide for yourself how to act?

Thanks

I think this question is half baked.  The question is trying to solidify the non-existence of God.  Again another dumb atheist strategy and reasoning.

Morality (or more precise moral behavior) is based an individual's decision and/or action which the individual differentiates as right or wrong and at times the individual knowing what the consequences can be of his/her action will behave in a particular way.

If you don't believe in an afterlife, then you most likely don't believe in cosmic justice and most likely you don't need to be accountable for your actions. 

Therefore, why even consider morals, just behave out of whim, tantalize your senses and let your mind run wild!!!

It's just like Dawkins says, "Why does God care who I sleep with?" 

Well, let us assume God doesn't care.  If you are in relationship and at the same time have an affair then you have broken the trust and hurt the individual.

Based on your thought process there is no accountability to it, because there is no afterlife and no cosmic justice.

This differentiates theists and atheists. Theists wants to be accountable for their actions and allow God to hand down justice.  While atheists want to avoid this, because it hinders them from behaving in manners that would make them feel accountable to their actions.
