firstly lets address this thing. these are 2 separate canvasses. its not where someone smeared the face by accident and then drew in a silly face. its a separate canvas. the original still exists in perfect detail.. somewhere
..
now for my athiest view.
1820~ years ago a group of humans(ministers) wanted to make laws to surpress people into acting a certain way. but they didnt want the back-fire of the people revolting against them. so they created a mythical character and said this mythical character made the rules long before this group so blame him if you dont like the rules.
the bible is just the campfire stories to learn the laws in a way that people will remember and be able to tell to others by word of mouth.
yep much like there was no real 'little boy who cried wolf' its just a story to convey that moral laws of dont lie or else one day no one will believe you when something real happens.
..
these stories program peoples subconscious. the part of the brain that controls muscle memory without conscious thought and also morals.
so if everyone changed their morals.. like becoming less compassionate and more capitalist and greedy by ignoring the old fables of the sins of sloth, gluttany greed. then yes the community will change
take those ignoring the camp fire stories of gluttany.. america is now the number 1 nation of obesity
take those ignoring the camp fire stories of greed. america is now the number 1 nation of capitalists
take those ignoring the camp fire stories of sloth. sub saharen africa is the number 1 in unemployment
take those ignoring the camp fire stories of lust. denmark and UK is the number 1 in single parents
this is not a thing about some mythical entity being a puppet master. this is about human communities that dont learn morals. and so the answer to the topic.. yes if people dont follow or learn a moral compass.. they would cause their community to change.
in short the old book of moral stories is broken and ignored more and more.
new lawbooks were made of over the last millenium(by new-age ministers and presidents) to replace that. but still isnt perfect
america is still a community of obese capitalists. and the amount of compassionate americans is decreasing
there is no single god floating in space. 'god' is YOUR subconscious. YOUR voice in YOUR head that tells you to pull your hand away from the hot fire if you get your hand too close.
if you stop listening to your subconscious/morals. you will get burned. so dont blame 'god'
