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?

You don't need religion to have morals

>What keeps an atheist from murdering and stealing all they want?
Moral compass

If you live in the US i imagine being shot at is a big deterrent

Eat arrow, fascist!

...

Atheists are actually disproportionately less likely to commit any crime or be arrested

I don't do shit to people that I don't wanna have done to me myself tbh

Because atheists are strong people with a moral compass that doesn't require someone standing over them threatening them with a flaming sword to do good - unlike theists who can't seem to do the right thing even when it is spelled out for them in a book.

...

Atheists don't need religion or a 'moral compass' because they have better developed empathy, something religious types will never understand.

If you do something bad for someone, you feel bad, because you understand the bad they are going through. Same thing with doing something good for someone. Atheists don't have to consult a weird, rambling, contradictory book written by incestuous goat farmers 2,000 years ago to check if something is OK.

Option 1) You are a troll, but so unoriginal and astoundingly stupid you actually take pride in posting the same shit over and over.

Option 2) You are a religous person whose mind has been so consumed by your bullshit dogma that you can't even process the fact that every facet of reality isn't dictated by your imaginary friend... so you post the same shit over and over.

Either way... why keep embarrassing yourself?

[And to give an answer- the countries with the highest populations that identify as atheist are the ones with the lowest crime rates, and most stable societies. So your question shows a huge ignorance of the present-day reality. Educate yourself.]

>> I wouldn't like it if someone stabbed/robbed/shot/punched me
>> Maybe I shouldn't do that to other people

You're a pathetic fuckface with a tiny monkey brain if you think the only way to be a decent person is by inventing a sky punisher.

If I kill someone, others will want retribution for my actions, thus they will attempt to kill me. Thus, killing others is against ones own self-interest.

Well, unless you're a communist I suppose.

what keeps OP from being a faggot?

[spoiler] nothing [/spoiler]

I don't want to murder and I don't want to steal. If fear of hell is the only thing keeping you from murdering and stealing then you're a psycho/klepto.

law and order :/

Why so serious?

How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, retard?

There is no lesson to be learned.
OP makes a shit post thread, then immediately makes several more. OP doesn't stick around to see our reactions. OP just post to make us react. OP is the one schooling us, and we constantly fail to learn.

That's why we see so many;
religious princess
andy six log of shit
brandon rate me
anders hegg
cuck
you mad white boy
and so many other shitpost threads.

Just ignore them, and they'll 404.

What stops priests and othe cunts fucking little boys

On the off chance you're not just a troll, most human beings (those that aren't sociopaths, like you must be to ask this question seriously) actually have a sense morality that prevents us from doing things that hurt others. Most of this is socially constructed and learned by observing others and being directly taught right and wrong as a child. But some of it is innate, and murdering people is one of those things.

Athiests are also least likely to breed and have families...thus leaving the more ignorant religious affiliated to fill the gap and push them (and their beliefs) out.

In all of recorded time humans have always been religious and there is a part of the brain that awakens during prayer/meditation. Athiests and communists have the same senseless dogma but no central belief structure for encouraging existence. This is what is happening in Europe and other "progressive" nations.

>we need religion to fuck

Fuck out of here.

wake up?!?!?!!!!!!!???

during prayer and mindless chanting, parts of the brain critical to common sense thinking shut down, making you vulnerable to suggestion. also, atheists know when to hide, and hide very well they do! if any atheists get pushed out of anywhere is because they're dumb. yes.... even atheists have their share of retards.

In all of history, religion has been a cause or factor in our bloodiest wars. Belief in a God is utterly foolish to me, but I envy those who do as they can find comfort and faith in some entity that is greater than themselves. The idea of religion is enticing, but ultimately not worth putting any time or effort to for me as I don't believe in it or have any concrete evidence to believe in such a thing.

To answer the original question, basic morales instilled by modern society. I grew up ifolizing superheroes like Batman, Superman, and Spiderman. The strong morales in helping your fellow man because it's the right thing to do was something I thought of as the best thing to do. My parents also taught me right from wrong, my mother being an Athiest and whom I am me alike of the two. I choose to do right and not wrong from the influence of my parents and superheroes, though I can't speak for others.

no

Are you retarded?

...

it's not

All wars are economic. Religion is just a way to motivate the poor to fight for the rich....but the point that none of you are able to address is that at least those religious poor are motivated.

Atheists are unmotivated to breed and are being supplanted in record numbers by muslims and religious breeders like Catholic Mexicans. This is a fact and it is exactly what the socialists masters in EU and US are banking on to pay for the overburdened social programs they have created.

wtf did u mean by this?
are u trying to be random?

What keeps Christians from stealing and murdering whatever and whoever they want?
Nothing.

>this is a fact
>but I have no real proof so you'll just have to take my word

Its ironic because in trying so hard to destroy the conservatives in your midst you are inviting your own destruction from abroad from conservatives that do not hold your values from an even more radical stance!

clear your mind [spoiler]of stupidity[spiler]

The Christian religion and morality is built on the fear of divine reprisal. Atheists fear secular reprisal.

you liberals have been touting for years how "white people will be a minority in the US in 2050" its even more radical in the EU...they have imported a 10% increase to their population in the last 17 years. 1 out of 10 europeans is a muslim and statistically muslim women breed 3 children while white european women breed 1 child (bear in mind, it takes two children to maintain replacement level in population)

It is you who need to wake up, sir.

[sopiler] shit [/spoiler]

[sopiler] damn [\spoiler]

wtf

Dinosaurs

If fear of hell is all that is keeping Christians in "line", how the fuck do you have the moral high ground? Look at the world, murders, wars, and rapes in God's house and/or name, and he does nothing. How could you love someone like that unless they threatened you with hell?

kek

so many newfags

What keeps an theist from murdering and stealing all they want? The fear of reprisal? Is the fear of hell the only thing preventing an utter breakdown of society by those with a "moral" compass?

why do catholics/christains murder and steal when those are the chief forbidden things according to their 'holy book'?

lol, so the only thing preventing you retards from killing others is a giant invisible fire-breathing man?
HAHAHA! Your life is more fucked up than that retarded pikachu-fag who microwaves and wears diapers he finds in dumpsters!

just like your only fear is dismissal from your facebook friends or your fiscal love = credit rating in the eyes of the holy jew.

address the facts tho please

IT's Culture you damn fool. Culture. Which why Multiculturalism doesn't work.

/thread

Not sure but all those mass murders in the name of god... I mean holy crusades =)

kek

Dominion is always cultural and economic. It is what it has always been: more advanced tribes conquer lesser advanced

Religion is a tool used to motivate the poor to fight and die for the rich. The Crusades were also the reaction to 500 years of Islam invasion of europe...

If you need your religion in order to prevent you from going on a murder spree you are a very scary person and should probably lock yourself up for the good of the rest of the world.

Because Muslims are doing it for them

but the religious fundamentalist is not locking himself up at all and you are inviting the most radical of all into your midst to shatter your way of life and school of thought.

>they proved i was full of shit
>better call them facebook-jew-slaves!
lol, stay classy :^)

you know you are lying but you can't shut up. Its just stubbornness hiding insecurity in the face of reason. Address what you ignored.

Trust me...as stubborn as you are...you are not more stubborn than a suicidal muslim and that is why you are losing because you are fighting your brother while you lose to the invader.
