Well I should clarify then. YOu don't have to believe in God to be a good, moral person.
I'm just pointing out instances to be devil's advocate like about my friend the doctor who gives 100 bills to the homeless a few times a month and adopted 3 kids from poor countries, etc. I pointed out he drops the word "God" every four sentences or so and wanted your opinions on that.
You can still be a good person and not a believer in God and the afterlife.
To those of you who have kids, though and do not believe: Are you not saddened at the fact your belief system indicates that you will never see loved ones again once you pass away? In heaven? What is the purpose for to have a great family then if you never get to see them following death?
I do not know your friend, not do I presume to judge him because of a few things you happen to mention that he does. The fact that he drops the word "God" every other sentence is really irrelevant. There have been many people throughout history that have done many terrible things in the name of God and using that name frequently. It is just a word.
