If there is no God what does that mean for us

Ok, this is short. If God matters, then there is meaning to our existence, and we have an outside opinion on the morality of what we do, and will be rewarded if we follow our morality. The point of our existance is to live in peace with each other, and to make the world a better place.

***Where as***

If God doesn't matter, then we are a simle cosmic accidcent, and morality does not matter, because there is no one to judge what you do in your daily life, so then it would be ok to murder, rape, steal, commit adultery, because in the end you simply will won't matter either. So what's the point of our existance????

God is Good!
The word “God” = the word “Good”
God and Good are the same word and both words mean the same thing.
The only difference between the words God & Good is “o” which is Zero, Nothing!
 
God is a Spirit, A Spirit, So Powerfully Good, Giving and Bursting with Love, that it Exploded to create the Massive Heavens, which extend for eternity.       All,…created from Nothing!
 
Out of the Gazillions of Round Lights, which are seen in the Night Skies and the unseen Round Planets and Round Moons which revolve around those “Stars”, even including the non-spherical pieces which can be seen, at times, as Shooting Stars,
 
EARTH is the only Speck, that God placed, ever so precisely, to support the Creation of Life.
 
God created Good, and God created Bad!      There is Good and Bad in all of us.
 
When people are born, they are Good and Pure. The bad is merely a Deviance from God, and it is learned, after birth!
 
The Spirit, “God” LIVES in each and every person. God is ALIVE, and has always been alive, in ALL that has been created.
 
All People feel, that God (Good), is living in their soul, in varying degrees from “Zero”, to the Amount that The Blessed Virgin Mary felt, SO, as to nurture it to her Son, “ Jesus Christ “, who gave his Life out of Pure Love for all People.
 
Jesus professed that he was the Son of God, and indeed he was!
 
But he was no more God’s Son than each and every one of God’s Creations! The only difference is the fact that God chose Mary and Jesus, and gave them the Ultimate Wisdom and Good Spirit to teach and spread the WORD of God, from their Inspiration.
 
Jesus died so that the Sins of the People of the world would be taken away!
YET, the sins keep going on!    The Bad is manifesting over the Good.
 
Jesus died merely because, he PROFESSED to be the Son of God, in essence God Himself. It was because of his Proclamation that he was crucified! His life was TAKEN from him, by Bad people, so as to stop the the Manifestation of God’s Goodness throughout the world!
 
God is a Spirit, the Spirit of GOODNESS, which is in all People.
 
God is not a White Haired, White Bearded Man, wearing a White Robe, walking with a Staff down a hill with a flock of Sheep.
 
God is YOU!
You the people are God!
God created Man so that God’s Spirit could Live!
 
God will come Again, when he see’s that we are worthy to receive him.
 
But we better get Snappin’. Because the Judgment is VERY Near. THIS YEAR !!

While I do believe in the existence of God in some form, I do not believe that morality is meaningless without him.

 

Morality guides our lives on earth, and either unifies us or destroys us as a species. Regardless of a god, we need morality to live a peaceful, worthwhile existence while we are here.

The point of our existence is to not just "exist" but to embrace our life with purpose and appreciate the gift that we have been given.

But who gave us the gift, if there is no God?

True, but then explain why people kill each other in wars. Only fools kill in the name of God, for that goes against Thou Shalt not Kill.

In my opinion, anyone who kills in the name of God might as well go and buy a one way ticket to hell.

First off, Glad you vented that out, however judgement day started a long time ago. Every day tests us.

Take your faith and live the way God taught. Be it w.r.t. Jesus, Moses, Muhammed, etc... They all had the same message, just a different way of teaching.

We are not alone. There are many other planetary systems, that could easily support intelligent life. Just because there is more out in the Universe than us, doesn't make us less special.
