Happy easter fam, so I woke up this morning with just one question on my mind:
What if we suddenly discovered there was no God?
I mean no afterlife, no hell, no heaven, nothing....

How would you live your life, would you still do good?

some people don't believe in God but they still do good

Nicho118:

Yeah I know,
I'm asking religious folks, particular​ly christians most of whose main motivation for not 'sinning' is to make heaven

If there was no after-life what then is the essence of living?

How would you live your life, would you still do good?

Which God are you talking about - Yahweh, Allah, Horus, Krishna....

There is God, there is afterlife, there is payback for your deeds here on earth but not according to what the major religion tell us.

So live your life by loving your neighbor as you love yourself and search for God through meditation.

How many of them

davtosh:

How many of them

I no count them

One BIG reason atheism is sweet to those that are into it is they dont live under the law of God so they are free to do what they like as "There is no God and because of that No SIN"

They believe they are only affected by the law of the Land. And only respect that.

They are free to delve into
adultery,
funication,
Lies like Lai Muhamed ,

free to hate who ever they wanna hate love who ever they wanna love, Steal and even kill as long as they can beat the law of the land.

Who says Atheism is not sweet

NO GOD NO SIN

As long as the law of the land cant catch them they are good to go into everything they wish.

TOTAL FREEDOM

all the crimes being committed and posted on Nairaland front-page are committed by atheists since they're "free to do as they like" Amirite?

Ese Walters committed adultery with an atheist called Fatoyinbo

billions of dollars embezzled in arms deal involves a prominent atheist called Oritsejafor

Billions of Dollars sent into offshore accounts that are being recovered was sent by an atheist called Sanni Abacha

etc etc

atheists are evil

Though I'm not an atheist, at least not yet, I believe it might not be as gratifying as you might want to think.

I think it takes a great deal of self conviction to actually accept that there might be nothing to life after all and still live cheerfully

Just live and die!!!

As much as I love the way you presented your defence I want to put it to you that I never said all crimes are committed by atheists No.

There are millions of religious ppl on earth who are not only criminals but hardened Ones.
Thats a very Fat Fact.

What Im saying is atheist are more free to delve into crimes since nothing checks them except the earthly laws which of course you can always beat as a smart person.

But if you belive in A God that sees you in the darkest of corners where the eyes of the law of man cant see you then you are more cautious and careful.

I dont know of any other religion but the one I practice. which is True Christianity.

If you are a true Christian not those ritualists and half politician half priests you mentioned, you will always try to abstain from sins and crimes.

Happy Easter
