I don't know why they would include these lines unless they're trying to pander to believers.
"God there is no god"
"There is nothing a man cannot do, once he accepts the fact that there is no god"
Okay??? So I guess we just stopped following the rules of the law and just start pillaging, raping, and destroying villages now.
These lines are unnecessary. Bad movie
------------------------------------
it's a freaking movie for $#!$% sake!
A lot of terrible people do believe this but they're usually theists who still believe in God, even if they personally have "given up on him." The writer could've simply been making a comment about those types of people.
Regardless, any real atheist you talk to will tell you that things like "not being a complete monster who chains people up in his basement" is reward enough for them. And for the record, I'm not an atheist, though many of my closest friends etc., etc.
He contradict himself just seconds after he speak these words anyway stating that he is not a rapist, i mean if there is no god and there is nothing a man cannot do once he accept this fact, why would he care about being a rapist or not?
He go as far as using homemade artificial insimination method to avoid having to rape theses women, of course its still rape but you get the idea.

What? What are you talking about ?
I'm saying that basic laws are universal. You don't need to believe in god to know what's right and what's wrong.

The only universal laws are laws of physics. There are many religions, for example Islam or christianity where, according to the holy text, the proper way to make a wife is, and i quote: "Wait by the side of the road and when you see one you like take her by force".

The spirit of abysmal despair
I think you have it exactly backwards. There is a belief among many theists that its only the threat of hell and brimstone that stops people from raping, pillaging and killing with abandon. That people are not inherently moral.
If you believe that, and you decide hell and brimstone are an empty threat, then you've given yourself permission to indulge in the worst behavior because why not?
If you believe that, and you decide hell and brimstone are an empty threat, then you've given yourself permission to indulge in the worst behavior because why not?Because people have morals regardless if they believe in hell or not. Sorry but religion doesn't own morals.
Hey man, what part of "if you believe that" did you fail to understand?
shareWriters hate atheism
On the contrary!
You do realize that you proved OP's point, don't you?
None of that is anti-atheist.
Morals are not something that any one religion owns. Stone tablets with rules are not the only things stopping the world from devolving into chaos and murder. Morality is a mix of a lot of things that don't depend on belief in God.
I don't even know how to respond to this lol. Did you not see the movie or heard his lines? He said basically... if you don't believe in god, you basically don't follow any rules.
I suggest you re-read your reply again. I think you're confused.

I understand, but of course the christians will say "see, atheists are evil because they can do whatever they want because they think there's no god" So i concluded that this movie, not the character, is pro christian.

Sure, but you can just as easily say that Christians are only good because they have to be, and that if there wasnt a God, they would all be bad. Good atheists are good because they want to be good, but good christians are good because they have to be.
Those horrible things are more the result of religion---NOT atheism---but most religious people are in denial about the truth.They can't handle it.
