What would you do if there was no God?

[Kofi]

I read an article Yesterday. According to that article, everybody believes that there is a God. Even those who say publicly that there is no God still believes deep down them that there is a God. So my question is, what would you do if there was no God? If there is no God, then there is no Heaven and there is no hell so the question becomes, what would you do if there was no heaven and there was no hell? Imagine a world without heaven and hell. What do you think would have happened?

If there wasn't this idea of God here God there, this world would have been a better place in my Opinion. Consider all the religious hatred and religious wars we have and are experiencing right now. Do you think America would have attacked Iraq if Rome was Iraq? No. However, America is ready to attack any Muslim state because all Muslims are terrorists. Also, do you think Obama Bin Laden would ever cause 9/11 in Pakistan? He will never do that even though Pakistan is a terrorists state.

I'm an atheist and I know that I do not believe in a god, only the natural world around us.

Take a listen to this song. The lyrics match the Words to your question very closely. I belive there would be no world with no God so it negates the question.

@Giorsue
In Rome Nero killed Christians by the thousands in Arena's and crucified them on stakes then used them to light his garden at night. The Christians were persecuted until the time of Constantine who was the first "Christian" Emperor. Christianity was not a state wide religion until Emperor Theodosius who made it the state religion not to long before it's fall. 99.9% of religious war is a political war with leaders who user their citizens faith against them to further their own cause. This is true of even the Crusades.

I see God Everyday. This world is to complex to have not of been divinely inspired. I ask only that you keep a open mind and if you would like to see some scientific evidence for the existence of God please read A Case for Christ. Just do a google search

Everyone dies and that is the end of there life, it is the burden every human carries - we know were going to die at some stage - and it scares the hell out of any of us - no one wants to die.

Mythology and folklore - exist to explain in a manner ordinary folk understand - the world around them, and of course as a form of entertainment - remember without TV, MTV and the internet it was fairly much work work work, get married work work dead.

So along comes a child "daddy why is grandfather being buried?" the obvious answer - to stop us all dying when he decays and to stop predators scavaging him - but the father answers "in the sky lives a god - he has taken him to live with him in eternal peace"

Thousands of years later - a whole belief in that springs up - fear is responsible for it at the start, and probably some people sharing stories around and cheering each other up - over the years it twists and turns, it becomes something more - driven by fear people WANT to believe, as mankind spans the earth the story is fragmented, abused, changed, twisted, and dare i say interpreted by those who wish personal gain.

Religion then becomes a weapon, a control and a safety net and an excuse.

If there was no god the world would have to face up to reality of our own mortality, that some people are good in nature, and some really are nasty - that our whole existence is just a speck of sand blowing in the wind.

Do you really want to push that onto people?
Isnt it much better to let them believe in the fairy tales?

Nope, at some stage you need to tell a child there is no santa, religion grew up forgetting the golden rule - its all stories, its about mortality and now its causing wars.

Religion should be banned everywhere - and if there was no god - then the world would be a better place - what would i do differently? well i wouldnt post here with a decent reason why i think there is no god lol.
