John,
I cannot help but respond to your post. I'm not 100% sure whether you are being serious, or whether you are just raising another discussion point, but I've heard similar arguments before.
I'm also not really sure what type of person you are, so I'm not going to make any direct attacks at your personality. But are you suggesting that, if you did not believe in a God, that you would rape, steal, and generally plunder all that came before you? I am not a christian, but I still strongly believe that these things are wrong. If God is the only thing stopping you from doing them, then perhaps you belong in prison.
I believe that life has no set purpose. We each form our own purposes as we continue through life. I need no God to feel worthwhile. It seems to me that some people crave a purpose desperately, and so they cling to religion to make their life have meaning.
We live....we die. What we do in between is what really matters.
Avi.
