*edit* And yes, actually! "Because your financial future will be in jeopardy" is one valid answer. What's so wrong with that? This is actually how we determine what's right, and wrong. It's a cost/benefit analysis, really.
Its just the way atheists do things and yes obviously gods way is better because it holds weight beyond the rules of a technologically advanced society. Godless people will make up the majority of the animals in ww3.
