Seems a pretty good idea to me.
- If there is no God, "Love your neighbor as yourself" is just a good idea. That's why it is written, incidentally, in Leviticus, "Love your neighbor as yourself, I am God." I, God, tell you to be decent to other people.
- And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
– Leviticus 25:10

You are incapable of morality without the specter of an imaginary monster hanging over you.
That is a sad commentary on your character.
Society is not capable of morality sans God.
As the abattoir known as the French Revolution proved, replacing religion with reason is a monumental error.
'Reason' results in deciding to kill any who don't agree with the government.
You're just not bright enough to recognize that.
Whoever the atheists were in the French Revolution, they killed far fewer Frenchmen than did the Catholic Church and its influence in times before the revolution.
You couldn't be more wrong.
You could try....but you wouldn't be successful.
1. In the course of France's short revolution, 600,000 French citizens were killed, and another 145,000 fled the country. Schom, "Napoleon Bonaparte," p. 253.
2. "That's in a country with between 24 and 26 million people, about the current population of Texas. In terms of population loss, that would be the equalivalent of the United States having a 9/11 attack every day for seven years." Coulter, "Demonic," p. 266.
3. According to Solzhenitsyn, the Spanish Inquisition, at its height, destroyed 10 people per month.
a. But, during the revolutionary years 1918-1919, Lenin's Cheka executed, without trial, more than one thousand (1,000) people a month.
At the height of Stalin's terror, 1937-1938, tens of thousands of people were shot per month. Solzhenitsyn, "Warning To The West."
Seems to be a regular pattern among you Liberals.....lies and ignorance used to slander the righteous.
Isn't that the truth?
