T0 REJECT GOD IS TO REJECT OUR VALUES AND PURPOSE

Let’s take one simple example – To reject God is also to reject any coherent basis for a virtuous life. “Virtue” become denigrated to a social construct to conform to the present evolving social standards. If virtue is merely something we created, we eliminate any overriding reasons to submit to it when enticed by more immediate desires.

Besides, without God, virtue cannot be considered virtuous, but instead another form of self-help, something we do for emotional, psychological, and social benefits. It’s to play make-believe.
