What is Right?

Do you ever wonder why it is that an Atheistic government is still seeking after a "Utopian" state? When denying all reference to God it seems to me that any acknowledgment of a moral standing is to actually do the exact opposite. Why should I do anything "good"? Why shouldn't I kill? Why shouldn't I steal? Honestly, why do we seek to do what is right?

For the sake of discussion I'm going to become an atheist, from this point I no longer believe in any kind of God, and now I want to know why I should listen to rules.

Why do we color inside the lines? Why do we drive on the right side of the road? Why do we listen to the authority which tells us we can't do these things? Why do they feel as if their job is something they have to do? Why don't we simply steal what we need rather than earn it through labor? Wouldn't true Utopia forgo the need to work? Why do I care what you think of me? Why do any of us care?

I'm back to believing in God now. But why are all these questions unanswered in the general public? I have questioned the existence of God. I've sat back and looked at it and said, "This is just too weird that any being could be in control of this." I've taken the time to block out any belief in God and see what it feels like. The questions then came to me, why does society follow the rules they are given?

God cursed man and said, "You will work the ground for your food, and it will produce thistle's..." That makes sense, even in a Utopian state the government still has people work.

God set down rules in the garden and said, "You may eat of each tree in the garden, but from the one in the center you may not eat of it's fruit or you shall surely die..." Makes sense again, in a Utopian state there are rules to which the breaking of said rules brings severe punishment. Even though not all punishments will be death, the basic reaction to the breaking of a rule still remains. Human nature still follows that pattern God created within us.

Consider how we decide to break rules. What do we feel when we decide we're going to break a rule? I personally get a nervous feeling, or when I decide to bend a rule that doesn't lend itself to being destructive I get a kind of rush. Both of these are because we don't want someone to know or to find out. After the act is done we have to act as if it never happened. In the garden of Eden something similar happened. When Adam and Eve sinned they wanted to cover it up, first with leaves and then with accusations.

Even if we decide that God does not exist the signs of His designs permeate our bodies. Think of feelings that are in us and how we react to certain things. God made these things, and every pattern of a Utopian state still cannot escape the fact that they are still acting under the guise of God's design and man's rebellion against God.

The very idea of a Utopian state is an idea founded in Satan's camp. It's a setting aside of a people from the rest of the world to be better than the rest of the world. To create a "perfect" race and segment of society. That is why no government has ever been able to create a Utopian state and every story that has depicted it has shown it to be rightly problematic.

God alone can have the label of perfection. There is no man, or man created thing, that can take that label because no matter what we do or create we still conform to the physical and spiritual rules already in place. We react, we can do no else.

The purpose of this post is to give to you the questions of asked for a long time. It is also to perhaps enlighten someone else and give a point against Atheism. The belief in no God at all is simply an admission to cowardice. Sit and watch society for awhile. I've found that working at Meijer has given me this unique view into a portion of it. A portion that wishes to go on unbelieving and unchallenged simply because they think their current existence will last for good. The purpose of this post is to get you to ask the question to yourself:

What is right? And why do we want to do it?

A Christian shouldn't have too hard a time answering that question. To God be given all praise.
