Are you sure?
Dave4shumps, when I was contemplating Atheism I had only two paths:
1. Live it up! Drink, have sex, who cares? Im no longer accontable to some god
2. Well, I care about my health, so I wont drink and I do want to find that special girl, without getting STIs, so I wont sleep around and I like having a day off, so I will keep the sabbath.
Those are really your two options. However, if I was to go with number 2 I would of gone back to God, as I did anyways.
There are ways to do all those things without putting their credit on an invisible man. "Self-controlled" was the key term there. I drink and have sex whenever possible, sometimes both at the same time. I have pretty damn good health besides asthma, which had nothing to do with either, and do not have, nor have ever had, an STD. I don't need encouragement from God to not work and sit on the couch in my underwear watching TV on the weekend either, although saying "God told me to do it" sure does produce interesting results when my roommate asks what the hell I'm doing.
