Maybe 50 or 60 years from now when science finally proves that all of you are right and there is no God..... and religion dies out for you!
Where as a society will the moral compass come from?
Quote: Considering of course you even want a moral society?Yeah, because slightly more atheistic countries just love munching on babies. Give me a break...
Quote:Will it be: Laws?
Are you kidding?! Since when do laws regulate how countries work?
Quote: hmmmm...who will instill these laws? Teachers? Police? Parents? Military? Government Agencies?
You're kidding, right?... Right??
Quote:Will it be community groups? Say like: Acorn? YMC...whoops....Boys & Girls & Gay clubs? Planned Parenthood? The cities or states?
Quote:Or will it be just every "being" for themselves, and NO LAWS? Total FREEDOM! WOW!! Freedom to do ANYTHING!! And no one to tell you differently!
Yeah, because laws, cops & justice aren't there to do their job. Oh wait, that is how countries function without religion as the head of society. I seriously hope you're trolling us. Like, seriously hope that's the case.

Just the way it is now, thanks: not a single snakeoil salesman to tell me what to do just because a book says so. They have it back to front. Mankind should first intellectually battle it out to figure out the most sensible way of life so that the [law] books are justified in telling me how I can compose myself in society.
Quote:Let us see where the moral compass points in a world w/o God?
To a place where everyone is equal and has a right to speak up against the system. That's true freedom for you, not some heavenly dictatorship which strangely never represents itself in person, but instead has spoken through the actions of the greedy ones in power. News flash; you're being manipulated.
Sometimes, I get the feeling that the worst citizen would be the newly deconverted. Sounds to me like the only thing holding you back from breaking loose and unleashing hell for yourself and your surroundings is your religious shackles you've willingly bonded to yourself for w/e reasons. I'm genuinely scared for people such as yourself who have this delusion of an atheistic ammoral world. Do yourself a favour and open your eyes. You make it out to be some sort of post-apocalyptic free-for-all where altruism went extinct. It's an outright insult.
