Life without god?

Can life truely exist without God? Is it possible to have a civilized society without the whole God idea, or would it be nothing more than chaos?

I feel that if no one believed in God, the world would be a truly evil place. There would be no laws considering laws are morals passed on in families. Morals usually come about with some influence of religion and those beliefs. So, the laws would disapear.

I'm sorry I have to disagree many people believe in God in the world and we are far from civilised and religion played a major part all through the dark ages and we were anything but civilised or morally just back then. I choose not to believe in God and my morals are not out of whack (and I chose my own moral values without the aid of God) and if id followed my family id either be on drugs or an aggressive alcoholic. Every living person knows the difference between right and wrong and they just choose to ignore their conscience or not, regardless of God. (I know a fair few criminals who claim to be religious)

I am an Athiest but that doesn't make me a bad person. I'm a very moral law abiding citizen. And like Benny came from a 'religious' family that is riddled with drug abuse and other crimes. It is possible to have a civilized life without a higher power. A person can have morals with the absence of a system of beliefs.

Now those that have no morals and break the law, they are going to do that whether they believe in a higher power or not.

The basis of polite and civil society is enlightened self interest. We don't go around killing each other because we don't want to be killed ourselves. We give up the ability to kill others with impunity so we will be protected from being killed ourselves.

Religion is a double edged sword. In some cases it inspires people to be better and more loving individuals. In other cases it gives them license to commit unspeakable attrocities.

Adolf Hitler considered himself a good Catholic. Jim Jones thought he was doing the Lord's work yet sodomised and killed many. Today there are 'pro life' extremists who assassinate gynocolgists and bomb women's clinics. Religion certainly didn't make these peopel good and moral.

Religion has a lot of blood on its hands. There were the crusades, the inquisitions, witch hunts. etc.

It has often debated whether the world would be a better place without religion. Far greater minds than my own have argued both sides of this debate.

God created the whole world and send them messangers to guide the human's to
stay right path, but human have to blame themself for the choas in this world.

Not if 'God' created them amssyd...
And yes, it's pathetic if people act morally only for fear of God or hell.
