Can You Be Good Without God?

[Midnight Pete]

you have nothing to apologize for...
i agree 100%

Very good.

 

[lilmama1991]

no humans cant be good without jehovah putting it in our hearts because not only are we imperfect but satan puts the negative in everybody

 

[Where Is God]

I don't think you can be good WITH God. Seriously! I am a humanitan, vegetarian, atheist and I only have done good in my life without God! Be good because it's good! Not be because someone told you to be.

 

[Where Is God]

no humans cant be good without jehovah putting it in our hearts because not only are we imperfect but satan puts the negative in everybody

That is seriously offensive.Read what you just said! That is discrimination and hatred towards the beliefs of others!

 

[Breathe]

You disgust me.

Now, now.
That's not very nice, and is against the rules.

Criticize the idea, not the person.

 

[England my lionheart]

God doesn't make you do good or bad,sometimes people do positive things and sometimes negative things and sometimes somewhere between,Humans are not perfect.

 

[Oneatatime]

Yes I can be good without believing in God

so what moral act are you capable of doing that i am not?
what you can do is say you believe you are morally superior...
which is nothing but giving yourself an undue sense of importance...
a good dose of humility would keep anyone from saying such horse pucky...

 

[lilmama1991]

without god we cant be good because he puts the good in us and satan puts the bad in us

 

[St Giordano Bruno]

We have a perfectly secular alternative of knowing good from bad, it is called the law and the secular justice system, and works perfectly fine. Just assume for instance that the law of driving under the influence of alcohol was abolished, and just simply told it was a sin against God and leave it at that. No doubt the deathrates on the roads would sky rocket and there would be no evidence the rising deathrate on the roads would be any better off in some of the most religious communities than some of the more secular ones. Similar effects have be observed when say for instance the police go on strike, people behaved just as abominably in the most religious communities as the more secular ones as well.

but i would also say that this POV also contradicts what god says about the heart of mankind..."every inclination is evil"

 

[ChristineES]

Of course one can be good without God. And someone can be bad with God, too.
