my Atheism will soon be over, but before...

how about the logical reasons, when you steal from someone they will seek retribution, making things very diffacult for yourself down the line, if you murder or rape someone, their entire family will seek retribution. If you need other reasons than this than perhaps you do not value your own life.

how about risk analasis then, what is to be gained and what are the risks involved, will you need to take the same risks again, and what are the conciquences of this course of action, looking at it this way, the so called sinns are simply pointless and unprofitable. Unless you place no value on your own life or your future, then you will simply die as a result of your actions.

Native proverb, see unto the seventh generation. If you choose to look ahead, immoral actions aren’t generally worth the conciquences of those actions.

Actually it isnt logical to assume folks will behave because of the potential consequences of their actions in the type of world that we live in , plenty of thieves get away with what they do , year in , year out , and nobody can focus their retribution on a good thief , since they never know who he is ! Doesnt matter what forensics can do , you cant always catch a thief … lessen hes dumb

Tell it to the mafia , to the violent gangs , watch them smirk - you cant seek retribution even if you wanted on someone you know nothing about , you make it sound as though most killers and thugs are stupid , far from it ! There are thousands of unsolved murder cases every year , not to mention rape , theft , fraud

Plenty of people are vicious killers , rapists and thiefs and they seem to get away with it all , have done for a long time , despite what ballistics and the forensic department can do , if what your saying is right and all we have to rely on are human ethics and the law , then it aint going to stop people being bad , course if theres divine retribution then Im sure God will make sure these sons o bitches get punished …

For the sake of argument Im saying to hell with the consequences of any “negative” action , what youve said so far wont stop a bad person from creating havoc if they really want to

Crime pays much of the time ! point is what you have said is not a satisfactory answer to why people must behave themselves , expecting people to fall into line just because we want them to wont make them do it !

This is a quote from a people who are theist , and they got wiped out because of that , they are speaking from a perspective an atheist wouldnt understand , thats why the whites killed them in the numbers they did , because they didnt understand
