Question for Atheists

[Samus]

Most come from society. Your circumstances play a major role in developing morals. A person who grows up in the USA for instance, would most likely think that murdering is wrong correct? But a person who grows up in a war-like tribe in Africa and sees unprovoked murder all around him every day would probably not think anything of it. It can also come from your own personality though. A person who is lazy and doesn't want to get a job might resort to stealing to pay his bills, and might not think anything of it depending on his personality. If a God instilled our morals in us, why does everyone differ in what they believe to be right and wrong?

This guy is right

I'm christian, and this religion has affected my morals very little. I don't go to church a lot, though.

You've got it all wrong, Most atheists used to believe in god. So they get there morals from Christianity. but heres a question for Christians, How can you believe in such a blind religion, its not backed up by science

Someday the world will realize that religion was recorded, science was forged.
There's a very, very steep difference.

Science is not absolute, science is indefinite with flaws and misconceptions based on observations and not literal testing.

Science is less feasible than the economy of most third world countries.
If anything, science would have to be backed up by religion.
And, my God, I think I'm onto something - that's what science originally derived itself from.
However, you obtained a few over-confident, cocky scientists who decided that the rules that defined religion weren't rules that they liked; so they decided that maybe they should be God, and develop laws that were based on what they wanted. Hence you have your atheist.

Don't get me wrong - I love science.
But I don't let it go to my head and question my faith over it.
It's easy for you to say that when you die you are broken down and merge with the Earth, but I promise you that when that day finally comes, you'll regret every moment of it.

If half the people on these forums had even HALF of an actual grasp of science, may it be physics, quantum physics, chemistry, or even biology, you wouldn't argue in the matter. For example, String Theory is exactly what it says - a THEORY.

May it be a 0 dimensional particle or a single dimensional object, it still had to come from somewhere.

Most people are probably thinking, "Then where did God come from?"
Go read the Bible.

The atheists of the science community are the scientists who couldn't make it big.
They're the ones who are willing to flood forums with ideas questioning religion, yet it's never the religious questioning science.
It reminds me of a kid who lies to everyone to people to like him.
We all know how that turns out.

That's actually one of its strengths. Religion does not change in response to new evidence, but the fact that science does shows how logical it is.

If anything, science would have to be backed up by religion.
And, my God, I think I'm onto something - that's what science originally derived itself from.

Please back that up.

However, you obtained a few over-confident, cocky scientists who decided that the rules that defined religion weren't rules that they liked; so they decided that maybe they should be God, and develop laws that were based on what they wanted. Hence you have your atheist.

I love how you're assuming everything. Atheists originally came about when a person thought "Wait, there's no evidence for God...why do I believe?"

but I promise you that when that day finally comes, you'll regret every moment of it.

And I promise otherwise. Can you back up your position?

May it be a 0 dimensional particle or a single dimensional object, it still had to come from somewhere.

So, what, just cop out and say that God did everything?

Most people are probably thinking, "Then where did God come from?"
Go read the Bible.

Bad suggestion.

If you can say that God is eternal, why not make it one stage simpler and say that the ingredients for the universe were eternal? Ever hear of Occam's Razor?

Oh, you do have religious people question science once in a while. The results discourage others from trying it, however.
