The first question one should ask before questioning the need for a god is:

“What is good?”

and when you can answer that, you realize, that you can’t be on your own for the quest for that answer and the search for the Truth..

Also, god is not necessarily the christian god. The existence of a god does not support the credibility of the christian assertions. That's a stretch. The god that exists (assuming that he does) maybe something else and of other characteristics. I agree, you must be pretty messed up to have to be threatened with accountability to decide what's right and wrong. Jesus was sinless? says who? the bible? I dunno, but I think kicking people selling their wares in the temple was wrong. I dunno, but questioning why he was left to die on the cross was also wrong. These are constructs by subjective individuals who want to promote the christian religion. Of course, the tenets will be biased towards further propping up their supposed messiah. http://atheista.net God is not all goodness – people just perceive him to be perfect and insist that he is perfect despite all the imperfection that exists in his supposed handiwork.

But what if you don't know that there is God, can you still be good? I think puwede, since God is omnipotent, He/She/It could give you the grace to be good even if you don't know it.

Consequently, when things go well for us, we're inclined to think that God is good, and when they don't, we question His goodness or even His existence. following your conscience is another way to be good. It depends on what you believe in. <br/>But be good for goodness sake. <br/>http://rhyannefranz.wordpress.com Following God’s path is a way to be good.

No religion can exist without a God, right? Unless you're worshipping trees or aliens. And try to leave your batcaves and look at the bigger picture. There ain't only one "God" you know, that is, your Christian "God". There are many, many religions you've never heard of that worship different Gods. So basing what's "good" solely on your Lord God Jesus Christ is already wrong.<br/><br/>So let's get to the meat of my earlier statement, the one about the priests. Priests are men of God. They are ordained under the eyes of your God to lead his followers to salvation. Instead, their idea of salvation is to molest kids for sexual pleasure. Is that good? Well, it's good for the priests but certainly not good for the children. Child molestation is beyond immoral, it's just NOT good at all. It doesn't take God to know that it's wrong.<br/><br/>Secondly, Osama Bin Laden. So, you say Allah told him to kill all those people, and it was good because he thought so. Tell me, anonymous, what if your kids were among those he killed? Would you have thought differently of his actions? A few of my friends almost got killed because of him. Who should I thank? Allah or your God?<br/><br/>My point is, if people can do such horrible things with God on their side, how difficult would it be to do good without God? It's so easy to be good, you know. You'd have to be a pretty messed up person to need a God to do good. Religion and God go hand in hand. No religion can exist without a God, right? Unless you’re worshipping trees or aliens.
