That question has been around a long time. I believe my answer is the best. But don't we all? Any ways If the Christian God is found out to be the only true God then the answer is yes.

However if you ask the question, is a belief in God necessary for those who believe there is no God to have morality, the answer is no.

Obviously there are people who do not believe in any such deities who are much better people then those that claim a god.

But back to my original answer about if the Christian God being the right one, then the bible would tell us that it is God, not us, who makes ourselves good?

Just my thoughts on the matter. Is the Rathskeller Coffee Haus & Pub your place? Hope all is well there and you all have a nice dialog.

Peace out, feeno
