But you're greedy asses. So you wouldn't share it

Like I said, amounts of money that I can make in a week at a McDonald's aren't really worth the precise effort required to kill someone.
Also, I haven't yet killed someone, so I think at first I would have a natural aversion to the act, thanks to population based evolution, but I have no conscious objection to it. However, it's quite observable that the more killing one does, the less their subconscious hinders them.
Edit:
But you're greedy asses. So you wouldn't share itCorrect. I suppose you are going to tell me that that is "bad?"

In my opinion , Religions are just the biggest example of stubborness , they were made to explain the things we didnt understand before such as lightning (im referring to nordic religion , im swedish =])

Well, to be honest it'd be hard to spend the 10 million dollars anyways without being noticed.

I am an atheist.In Greece were i live 95% of the population is orthodox christian.As i used to be.Here being something else than christian is simply not acceptable and i have encountered a thousand times idiots that won't talk/yell at me for not being a christian.Seriously people.I have never ever tryed to convince someone else that god doesn't exist.It is my own belief and they have evry right to believe whatever they want.
See this is the problem.
Because of a select few, a group of people are stereotyped as something and get persecuted for having different beliefs, although they never do anything to force their beliefs onto others or crush their ideas.
I guess religion is another excuse to use to get away with bullying others.

Lol Haxzor, I did not stereotype religious people and say "all people who are religious and bully others" I intended to say that some people use religion as an excuse to bully others, along with stress or what have you.
Eg. Not everyone who is stressed bullies others, and vice-versa. Some use it as an excuse.
I honestly really thought I had conveyed that clearly enough. If you can find where I said all religious people are bullies in what I previously said then what you are trying to reflect is valid.

Quite often actually, but I'm a special case.
Also, civilized discussion != forcing upon your will, so it's all good.

I think this actually links very well into the
If There Is No God
debate. I sincerely believe that if you assume that there is no God, and that we are alone in a purely materialistic, uncaring universe,

's stated philosophy is the only one that makes sense.
The fact that this philosophy strikes most people as sick and wrong seems to me evidence that there is a universal moral code of some kind—even if we don't know what it is.

There are a few things that I KNOW to be true about ALL atheists:
1) They believe differently than I do.
2) They will not be yelled at or spit on by me because of these beliefs.
3) They have never provided me proof that there is no God.
4) I have never provided them proof that there IS a God.
There is one thing that I DON'T know to be true about ALL atheists:
1) I don't know whether or not they are going to Hell. On the contrary, Christianity leads me to believe it is not for me to know or decide.
So, what can I opinionate about ALL atheists? I am of the opinion that they are.

A quick and easy test of science and religion.
Step 1: Walk into a dark room.
Step 2: Pray to God to light the room.
Step 3: Note response.
Step 4: Flip light switch.
Step 5: Note response.
Science works. The fact that you are posting these things on a computer is evidence that it works. The fact that you can start your car in the morning is evidence. The fact that your air conditioning works is evidence. The list is endless. When you apply your ideas of science just to controversial theories you are overlooking the OVERWHELMING amount of correct things science has done that you could barely live without and in some cases you could not live without.
You have an unparalleled understanding of the scientific method.

The religion that I practise also states that God will not grant selfish requests or something that I can readily do.
Asking for light to disprove other people is selfish in the regard that I'm trying to prove that I'm superior.
