Of course, atheists insist that people should be "good without God."
But why? If God does not exist, why be good?
This question gets boring, Randy. You believe in hell right? So let's say that there is no hell, would you still be good? I personally don't see why people would need an ultimate or eternal consequence to motivate them to be good.
I guess he is confessing to us that without Gods plan (big carrot, bigger stick), in his (Randy's) heart of heart there is only ill will. The destructive urges and psychopathic indifference he projects onto those of us without gods are simply what he knows of his own true nature.
Who here hopes with me that Randy remain yoked to god's big carrot and stick?
