Not only is God necessary for humans to be good, but so are his Messengers and Prophets.

The assumption that a deity is required for humans to act ethically is so old and tired. I act ethically and I've been an atheist for as long as I thought about the question as a pre-teen!
If you need an all-powerful deity to scare you into acting ethically, you have way more problems than you realize, and your superstitions aren't really going to help you with that.
Never argue with people who type fast and have too much time on their hands...

Almost everyone including the most evil people on earth believe themselves to be good. Everyone acts according to standards they impose on themselves. However, to be good, a connection to God and rope from him is necessary.

Mountain-high though the difficulties appear, terrible and gloomy though all things seem, they are but Mâyâ.
