They just behave the way the church dictates to avoid trouble. [/quote] Fixed it for ya. [/quote] :rofl: Not quite true but they are most of the times moral supremacist douches though. [/quote]

I believe that there is no such thing as a supreme being that created the universe. I am open to that possibility should someone provide proof. However...
Just because I don't believe in God, doesn't mean i don't have morals. I think murder is wrong. I think stealing is wrong. I think abortion is wrong. In fact, I would say that I have a pretty sound moral set and I don't need God to tell me so.
Priests are molesting young children, Christian presidents start unjustified wars, Muslim terrorists kills thousands in bombings and use women and children as shields. I don't need a book to tell me that all of that is wrong. Why do religious people group atheists into some scary stereotype when there is evil in every walk of life and in every creed.
