Thank God!
... oh wait.
God IS the world, natural law, and God is simultaneous beyond it's limitations. That's my philosophy. Why do I believe this? Because I feel it. It resonates with me.

That's a bad reason to believe anything, this is exactly why religion is a disease.
Such statements deserve to be ridiculed and insulted. Only in religion can someone say something so childish and be respected for it.

And this my friends is what I call hope. Hope that we will no longer have a society bound by the "moral" constraints placed on science and politics that have been dictated by religion, for example gay marriage and cloning. We will now begin to govern ourselves based on our own accepted laws and codes based on logic and reasoning.
LOL. Funny you should say that. The bible says people would say what you have said.
2 Tim 4:1-4
1I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
Govern yourselves based upon your own desires, like an animal devoid of any sense of morality, using the tissues of murdered unborn babies to further your perverse "sciences". Science itself is just a tool, what you would do with it is what makes it evil.
"Based on logic and reasoning?" There is nothing logical in what you propose, it is nothing but smoke and mirrors. You steal hope and deliver death while promoting your Frankenstein lack of ethics.

ZING!
That being said I do not see this working out as well as certain staunch atheists in this thread do. I have read the literature of the Royal Society concerning eugenics and their involvement in pushing trans humanism and it screams bad news.
Why the 'F' would we allow all the useless eaters to live?
EDIT
Logically speaking most people are completely useless in pushing science forward which will become the single necessity for being allowed to live, otherwise you would be a waste of resources.
EDIT
Sure wish science could explain consciousness though . . .edit on 8-7-2013 by FriedBabelBroccoli because: 101

Hope that is correct, what with so much violence and lunacy perpetrated in the name of religion. Trouble is, humans being humans, I don't doubt the freaks among us will latch on to some other silly reason / justification to continue being uncivilized.
Bingo. A world without religion is every atheist's wet dream but they are in for a surprise when people still act like #&@holes and find other reasons to kill each other. We don't need the concept of God to act like jerks. Just ask the soviets.
