If there's no God, anything goes, right? Why not move counter-clockwise around the board and murder a baby every time you land on Free Parking?
Because if I didn't believe in God, that's what I would do.
That's why I'm always the banker and keep extra dice with me. When I get a chance, I toss a die off into a corner and sneak a few extra bucks when everyone looks away to the noise like all gullible people do.
LOL!
@Wish You Were Here: It says in his profile that he's an atheist. Trying checking the profile before you get butthurt.
Why, oh why do theists think that lack of belief in any of the hundreds of thousands of gods, goddesses, and other forms of major and minor deity dreamed up by man has ANYTHING to do with morality?

Your god, or any god for that matter, has nothing what so ever to do with morality and it seems as if theistic belief in a magical punishment for being bad doesn't seem to stop theists from being actually MORE immoral than the atheists I know.

You HONESTLY think that Atheists kill babies? That is more likely to be something that a delusional theists does because his/her "God" specifically tells you to...

Psalms 137:9, Jerusalem Bible
Comment
Ask a Christian friend whether he or she should feel happy to dash a child against the rocks. Your friend will most likely stare at you in horror, much less believe this idea exists in their sacred Bible.
Many Churches have found this verse quite embarrassing. It gives no wonder why priests, Jews, and Christians alike, who quote from Psalms 137, http://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Psa/Psa137.html#top always leave out this last verse.

Here we have the horrific calling for cannibalism. It comes even more barbaric considering it calls for the devouring of their own sons and daughters.
Hardly anyone today accepts cannibalism, yet many fundamentalist Christians would have us believe that cannibalism or some other depravity will result if we choose not to believe in God or to choose another god.

Stealing money from the bank is half the fun of Monopoly. Makes the experience more realistic too.
I murder people who cheat at Candyland.
Nice trolling...
All my friends are spies for the KGB. The will know, they always know.
Wow, you have no actual morals then, If all your morals are dependent on a God being real.
And Christians steal ALL the time.
There isn't!
Well, we all know that if a Christian discover there is no God he would start to eat babies, but for some reason we don't do it so often o.O
Troll win!
So your belief in a mystical being who punishes people is the only thing standing between you and breaking all the rules? How sad for you. I follow the rules for the sake of following the rules. Not because I'm afraid of spirits. This is why law-abiding atheists (and most are) are morally superior to religious people who only obey the law because they fear their angry sky fairy will punish them if they don't.
What does not believing in sky fairies have to do with abiding by the norms and mores of societal behavior.
You sir, are a coward if that's what you would do. And we aren't cattle prodded into doing good like you, we do good on our own.
What's wrong with cheating in Monopoly? After all, in the real business world the white collar businessmen always steal from the cookie jar, it's just typical white collar shenanigans.
well you have problems then, im sorry you need a god to keep you from murdering somebody. i dont believe in any god and i dont wanna murder, steal, cheat or anything. i still strive to be a good person and a good citizen, i dont need a god for that. such a close minded individual.
Wow! A blatant Poe, coupled with a totally Poeish screen name, and you still get people responding as if you were serious. Bravo. Well done.
Their called Atheists with morals, sweetie. I know plenty of them, if you'd like, I'll introduce you.
That why you always lose when you play against me
So you are saying people who believe in irrational concepts (i.e. God) are in fact murders are thieves at heart?
My sentiments exactly.
Your argument is fake to me because I don't believe you would cheat like you claim. For starters your fellow players would stop playing...
I believe in people and in people's abilities to do good and act in moral ways without being forced to by a supernatural policeman (a.k.a. God).
You don't need supernatural police when you've got real police... It really is that simple!
Love comes as naturally as hate... Freewill exists... If you see truth and turn your back on it then that is the greatest sin - Peace!
There is your problem. Your moral fiber is so weak that only the threat of eternal hell fire keeps you from acting like a sociopath. This is truly a sad thing to admit.
i heard on NPR the other day that monopoly is adjusting for inflation.
instead of collecting $200 for passing go, you get $2,000,000.
because that's a lot of paper money, all the new monopolies are going to start using monopoly credit cards.
so that whole stealing your neighbor's money (which makes monopoly so much fun) will be in the past.
Morals come from religion, this is true. Now, tell me how many in your church have their little dark secrets? It's not the belief, it's the heart that matters. And by the way, as you have judged, so shall ye be judged. Also, the murder the baby thing came from your head, not some atheist. If you are a Christian, don't embarrass me with your hypocrisy. If you're not, go back under your bridge.
monopoly is such a dull game.. my sister swallowed one of those little houses once, when she was like 3 or 4. We were fighting and she was trying to prove a point, then my parents took her to the hospital :)
So if you didn't have a book telling you what to do, you would abandon all morality?
We do good and behave in a moral fashion because humans are imbedded with a sense of right and wrong. If only a book of rules is keeping you from becoming a psychopathic murderer... you sound insane.
Good point lol!
There's no morals without God.
