After all, without a belief in God, atheists can lie and believe they are free from supernatural repercussions. But, should you trust such a person?
lol, ofcourse you can. should you trust a person who believes in things without any basis of proof?. trust people as individuals not as a group. peace.
Let me ask you this, do you not lie solely because of your believe in God ? If the answer is yes you are a pitiful person, if the answer is no you know the answer to your own questions.
A theist believes, however irrationally in your mind, that lying could result in going to Hell. Therefore, such a person is more likely to tell you the truth. A person who has no such belief has little reason to tell you the truth willingly. Why should I trust an atheist?
Do I not lie solely because of my belief in God? What does that mean? If I believe in God, why would I be lying?
Just believeing in god shouldnt be the only reason you dont lie. Are you saying that if you knew there was no god you'd be a horrible lying bastard? I hope not
Yes. Rationally, if I had no fear of God, I would certainly lie. Of course, there is a point of dimishing returns in lying - like the boy who cried wolf. Nevertheless, I sure would lie a lot more.
If there is some supernatural being how do you know if he cares if you lie or not? Do you hear voices in your head? I find it harder to trust a person who is unstable and claims to hear a god speaking in his ear. Have you always heard voices? Voices telling you what to do?. Seek help. there are treatments that can help stop your delusional periods.
Who said you need to hear voices to believe in God? Hearing voices is disturbing even to theists. Now, by hearing voices, I assume you are not referring to your own voice telling you to behave?
So your saying that love of your fellow man and respect for them have no bearing to you? Thats really sad that fear is the only thing that keeps you in line. I bet your a W fan too arent you?
Are you assuming that atheists lie more than theists ? Do theists lie, at all ? Do they never do horrible things ?
If you've never seen a theist lie, or met a theist that was untrustworthy, then you have obviously led a very sheltered life. Catholic priests molesting altar boys comes to mind. Why are you stereotyping all athiests as untrustworthy? Christians, Jews, Muslims, and other theists can be just as untrustworthy. It's not the religion, it's the individual. Two of my best friends are athiests and I trust both of them. They have never given me any reason to not.
Seek help. There are medications that will stop your delusions. It's not always easy, but try taking the first step.
