If their is no god, no afterlife, no retribution, then why worry about little things like morality. After all, it's like your parents left the house full of liquor, you found dad's porn collection and credit cards, and mom's cache of prescription drugs, and they ain't coming back until after you leave town for good with the hot and horny twins next door driving their parents' Cadillac. Woohoo! Party!

It is a really juvenile and immature attitude to believe that the only reason to live responsibly is because you fear parental punishment!!

Yep. But that's not what a belief in an afterlife is about for many folk.

The things Hawking says about life and death ring pretty true to me.

As time is not linear (despite the human view of time viewed through the notion of clocks and calenders), there's not necessarily a ''before' the universe to worry about.

The contents of the universe all move in the direction of death. With an ending ahead, why wouldn't there be a before behind? :unsure:

The universe expands out. Reversing the view, where is the starting point? :unsure:

I think I have read that some speculate our universe will probably be swallowed, sucked or pass through a black hole. Cool. :hehe:

Why do you think mankind behaves? :unsure:

(No sarcasm intended)

I am not sure if behaving is an inherent quality of humans. I think humans are born with some basic instincts built in as standard features. :yes:

I think views on morality are learned. :yes:

Yep. But that's not what a belief in an afterlife is about for many folk.

Please expound. :star:

Do you believe in higher beings than humans?

I believe there is something/ someone singular or plural out there, that is a higher being. :yes:

I think mankind has named this/these God. :yes: I also think there is a good chance that this/ these God(s) taught us to call it/he/she/them God. :yes:

I don't think religion and science are competing. :no: I think science and religion are working together to help mankind to evolve. :yes:

Some of us don't stop playing just because we got old. I always thought you get old when you stop playing.

I like to think something is out there watching over us out of love, although there might to be hell to pay if we get too rambunctious.

You desire Daddy to take you out to the shed and give you a good lesson.

Daddy has never taken me out the shed, but should he ever decide to, I'll have CPS on speed dial.

That explains some things: "He who spareth the rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him correcteth him betimes" (Proverbs 13:24)

The day I watched a documentary about an Amish family denouncing their religion and leaving their community I knew my cynical conviction held water. This man and his family are piss broke, he's out preaching in the streets like a nut case, and when they can barely scrape together their rent - INSTEAD of working, he makes the decision to just sit at home and pray to god instead. When that obviously didn't work he got a job like everyone else.

Now that's pretty extreme because of his Amish upraising but still. Imagine praying to god to solve your money problems? "Dear god, the filing fee for N-400 is really busting my balls..."

That explains some things: "He who spareth the rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him correcteth him betimes" (Proverbs 13:24)

I used this quote in an argument to link Christianity with modern violence in a fabulous essay :rofl:
