In an Atheist’s World

For a while now, I’ve been trying to wrap my mind around what Atheists believe, and why they believe it. Just trying to picture in my mind what a world would be like without God is almost impossible for me. Perhaps this is because I was raised in a religious household, but also perhaps because I fail to find the logic behind what the Atheists are claiming. Let’s take a step into the world that the Atheists are claiming they believe in for a moment.

To begin with, if there is no God then there would be no such thing as right or wrong. If God didn’t exist, why would we need to even think about what’s right or wrong? If there is no God, there is no other source telling us what is right or wrong. But yet, even the Atheists agree that there is such a thing as ‘right and wrong’. One might argue that it is up to the individual person to decide what is right and what is wrong, but even then my point still stands: Why bother with right and wrong if there is no such thing as God? Without God, there would be no such thing as morality. If you truly believe there is no God, then you also believe that anything you do in this world is not going to matter. You can do whatever you want, no penalty.

Without a God, there would be no such thing as human dignity. Humans would have no worth what so ever in this world. If you ask an Atheist if he would kill someone (if there were no laws against it.) he would most likely tell you that of course he wouldn’t. When you ask why he might say something like “because it’s wrong.” (Which goes back to my point about right and wrong...) But if there truly was no God, there would be no difference between human beings or a piece of trash. Burn a piece of trash, or kill a human, without a God, what would be the difference? Without a God, there wouldn’t be any. If we are really a product of evolution, without a creator, do we really have any worth?

If you really think about it, a world without God would be kind of pointless. Basically without God we were put here by chance, to live and then to die, and that is it. We have no purpose. The only person that would really matter to us would be ourselves, after all if there is no God, then the only ‘goal’ we could have in life would be to be as ‘successful’ as we can, nobody else would matter but ourselves. And if the only person anyone has worth to is themselves, do they really matter? Without a God, would anyone really matter? Think about that for a bit.

An Atheist's ideal world, the world would be full of hatred, full of pain, full of murder. Without God, there is no hope. There is no such thing as joy, and no such thing as love. You'd only be living for yourself, and nobody else. I'd be scared to live in such a world.
