What keeps an atheist from murdering and stealing all they want? The fear of reprisal? Is the fear of prison the only thing preventing an utter breakdown of society by those with no moral compass?
What keeps an atheist from murdering and stealing all they want? The fear of reprisal...

If you need a book to tell you not to murder, steal, and rape, you're the one that has no moral compass.
"The question I get asked by religious people all the time is, without God, what’s to stop me from raping all I want? And my answer is: I do rape all I want. And the amount I want is zero. And I do murder all I want, and the amount I want is zero. The fact that these people think that if they didn’t have this person watching over them that they would go on killing, raping rampages is the most self-damning thing I can imagine. I don't want to do that. Right now, without any god, I don't want to jump across this table and strangle you. I have no desire to strangle you. I have no desire to flip you over and rape you."

wtf does the girl from the never ending story keep bitching to b about god,the only thing keeping me from murdering and stealing is that i dont yet know where you live op you raging homosexual
Jose Howard
By the same logic, is the fear of ultimate, eternal reprisal at the hands of an angry god all that keeps you in line? Cause if so, we should probably be more worried about you than atheists.

Empathy. See, atheists aren't sociopathic like religious people are. We don't need tales of almighty gods and horrible punishing devils to keep us in line because we simply understand innately the need to treat others as we wish to be treated. Moral subjectivism is more than enough to keep a person with a healthy ego in line.
The bible pretty much says so itself! Jesus said in implicit, unambiguous terms that he came for the sake of the sinner. Religious people are broken, in need of further programing.

The tendency to conform, follow rules, be ethical,.... is natural. Its the way humans have evolved to get along in the tribe. And then theres the deterrent of prison.
Most criminals are religious anyhow. How do you explain that?

Yes, and by those with no moral compass, you are referring to the majority. Morality is not how things operate.
