This is also one of the very, very, very common comments by Christians-- that if you didn't believe in God, you would be free to murder, rape, and steal as much as you want. If the only thing holding you back from doing those things is the fear of punishment from skydaddy, and I hold back from doing those things because I don't want to, even though I am firmly convinced that nobody is watching and nobody is keeping score, which of us in more moral?
