Can you make it through life without Jesus? Probably, but who would WANT to?

We don’t have to agree with the message but everyone has a right to their opinion and to express it.

Oh, yeah, the one outside the campus on which I work reads "No God? No Problem!" Funniest thing your ever saw, actually - the deepest intellectual and moral consideration in human history, dismissed in the jargon of a junior high-school student.

It's actually funny on several levels - here we have what must be a multi-million-dollar advertising campaign exhorting the viewer not to believe in something. I can't think of a better way to waste money. Whatever.

Yes, and leave us to decide what is Good and Evil.

All this time and the serpent’s message hasn’t changed.

Want proof that God exists?

What was the one phrase you were most likely to hear from anyone witnessing the collapse of the towers on 9/11? Answer: "Oh my God!"

And the second most common phrase, albeit profane, also recognized the existence of the sacred: "Holy $#!t!"

You only have to read one of these threads to see the sort of hate and condescenion that is directed towards non-believers. That’s all I’m going to say on the subject.

Sacramento is arguably proof to the contrary.

Moral relativism or certain forms of pantheism do NOT make a person “good”. It still narrows down to the basic moral guidelines outlined in the Ten Commandments.

These fools refuse to see the moral instincts God installed in every human being. They give themselves credit for their arrogant concept of right and wrong and pick and choose the morality that suits their belief system. For them, good can be evil and evil can be good. There is no divine standard that guides them.

With out God, their mortal souls will end abruptly and without glory. And God will cast them away like chaff in the wind.

How do you define good? What they mean is that people can conform to a pattern of behavior that is acceptable to a particular culture. There is nothing objectively or intrinsically good. Being good is totally subjective and little more than good manners. Without God there is nothing objectively good. Without God, there is no evil or good. That is not saying that without belief in God there is no good or evil, but without God there is no objective good or evil.

Sure they’re good. They possibly even do good things to help out people. Still not going to heaven.

Seems as if there’s always something to counter good news about God.

Quote Scientists have identified areas of the brain that, when damaged, lead to greater spirituality. The findings hint at the roots of spiritual and religious attitudes, the researchers say. From http://www.livescience.com/health/spirituality-brain-link-100211.html

Can you be Good without God?

You can be Moral without God. You can be Ethical without God. But ONLY God is Good. So, to attain for goodness is to attain for God-likeness or Godliness. Which means the answer is “NO.”

Two religions of the world. One - theism, understanding there is a Supreme Being, Lord of all, and all humans are eternal souls subject to His will; that the divine kingdom of God or eternal realm is our real home; and that real happiness is found only in loving surrender to the Lord which includes living according to His instructions. (Details vary, but that's a basic gist.)

The other "religion" - there is no God/everyone is God, eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow you die (end of existence so get it on now), make your own rules, there is no transcendent meaning or purpose to life, etc.

I wish I were rich - I could put up some billboards!

Sponsors of the "good without God" billboards say it's not an attack on theism but, instead, a message directed to their own community.

Sure.....
