Christains claim to get their morals from their god. Ever christain I have met states that without god the world would be in anarchy. What would happen if christianity was suddenly debuncked. Would christians fall back on their humanly moral instincts or would they loose site of morality and place the world into anarchy.

I don't think would be a loss of morality leading to anarchy. There would probably be a gain in it. Or at least an exposure of IMmorality that is currently disguised in religious doctrine & dogma. That immorality could then be more easily addressed.
By anarchy, do you mean people running crazy in the streets looting, murdering, robbing, raping? If so, then a loss of religion wouldn't cause that. If, by anarchy, you mean the overthrow of oppression, then, yes, without religion, the religious leaders and their power structures would topple.
Not sure I was just wondering how those who act morally to please a god would act if there belief system were suddenly removed. Also if the fanitics thought there system of power was crumbling would they work to bring the end of the world to reality.
I agree about the laws.
I guess I should say what made me think of the question above. I read the article on J. Atwill's book Caeser's Mesiah and it made me wonder what would christains do if there was positive proof that christ was faticious. I also read the commits and I now believe that the less involved christains would probably except it but the devout and nut jobs would call it a trick of the devil and posibly react violently in the name of their god.
Without religion the world would not fall into anarchy, Its not like everything we have learned about being a civilized society though there is much to learn left would simply be forgotten. we just would not have religion to make the rules and we would have to have make our own rules, this is entirely possible and has been done without religious input in the past.

jordtame does have a good point! What would happen if religion just went away? Would all of the lunatics be let off of their leashes and destroy the planet? Do we really need religion to keep people in check or should we all keep ourselves in check for the sole purpose of being human?
If religion just went away, we may have some chaos, but what if religion never was? Would we be a much more advanced society and have furthered ourselves technologically and socially?
You do know the christian zionists are attempting to end the world dont you?
Its worse than that they sincerely believe if they succeed not only will the world end but god will reward them even though by trying to fulfil the prophecy they interfered with their gods schedule.
It's really silly silly for some Christians to believe that their morality depends on their religion. Sooner all religions will be gone because the world is awakening to the fact that there are more things that we should focus more with such as peace and technology rather than religions and their craps.
