Speak for yourself. I don't fear your God or any other.
If people are good only because they fear God, then why are so many god-fearing people in prison?

You know cops also help people, right? A couple weeks ago I was in a major accident. The police arrived on scene, shut down the freeway, directed traffic away from the area, coordinated the response with fire crews/ambulances, and spent hours investigating, taking photos, and interviewing victims/witnesses. At the end of the incident an officer gave a few of us a ride to where our family/friends were waiting to pick us up. They were organized, professional, and helpful in the face of a pretty traumatic situation.
I was not afraid of the cops.

No, actually it's not. And if 'fear' is the only reason you don't kill your neighbor and rape his wife, then I feel sorry for you.

+1. And if that fear is of the retribution of an invisible boogeyman, I feel double sorry.
would you suggest eliminating all cops ?
would you pay all your tax without IRS ?
you lives in atheist fantasy land

Actually, the societies with the least amount of god-belief tend to have the least crime. Make of that what you will. But certainly, the countries in the world with the most fervently religious people are never the best places to live. Give me godless Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland etc over god-fearing Latin America, the Middle East, USA any day.

Not with guys like you running around loose - who knows? You might wake up tomorrow and realize you've been victimized by your religion's fleecers, and go on a murderous rampage.
Absolutely. As it is, I could avoid most of my taxes without violating any laws, but I pay them anyway. Guess that's the difference between me and you/Donald Trump.
Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland are rich country with small population
pick godless poor country with big population

No, but I would be open to changing their job description. Remember, there are still those god fearing folks that obviously don't fear enough and still commit crimes on others.
Of course I would, why wouldn't I? They serve a greater purpose.
No, actually you're the one living in fantasy land with your imaginary sky cop and virgin rewards.

No - too many people are like you - requiring an external or imaginary influence to control their behavior. OTOH, maybe the federal government would go broke. Not sure if that would be good or bad.
If this is the case, an atheist who has not committed a crime would not fear cops.
Do you believe it is only fear of punishment which makes people behave?
if america become all atheist country would you eliminate IRS and cops?
You gave no evidence for rise of life without Bantu, the Supreme Cosmic Toad, therefore Bantu-didit. See how easy that was?
We believe that the diversity of life we see on this planet is caused by biological evolution because this reasoning is supported by lots of evidence. There is no evidence that a god exists, much less that it did anything. Produce your god and we start believing. But you can't do that because your god exists only in your imagination.
Stop acting like a 6 year old child. You have been on this forum for a very long time and should know better than to repeat this nonsense.
You are unable to defend your rejection of Bantu, the Supreme Cosmic Toad is a rational manner. Therefore Bantu exists. Six year olds can do better than this, Syed. I am disappointed at your lack of personal growth despite being a long term member here.
