Why are they immoral? Perhaps because they're criminals, homosexuals, perverted, murderers, theifs, liars, rapists, adulterers, warmongers, drug addicts, self-serving, barbaric and unbound by any constraints of conscience or moral compass. People do that following all religion u say. Well these are common traits ONLY amongst either confirmed or unconfirmed atheists within the ranks of religion. REGARDLESS of what religion claim to follow they lack fear of God. End of story!

Funny, I can think of lots of Christians with some or all of those traits.
Even your supposed God is guilty of a fair number.
Actually, those are all traits commonly ABSENT from atheists.
I have known many people who feared the Christian God, accepted Jesus, etc., and still committed horrible acts. There have even been people who committed those acts BECAUSE of their belief in God.
From your posts, it is clear that you revel in spreading lies and disinformation in an attempt to slander people you know nothing about. Please grow up.
If they´re atheist, they can´t follow any religion. And not so end of the story. Since when was Bakker, a declared adulterer, or Randall Terry, or Papadopoulos or Mussolini, atheists?, since when Ted Haggard?, how is that that atheists are only 0.1% of jail population?, why is it that there are Christian marital counsellors, rehab ones and jail chaplains if only atheists do so?
Wow. I do believe he's hedged his bet so much that he's covered all the options.
Regardless of your response to this, he can then riposte by saying you are obviously an atheist, regardless of what you claim.

Although that's pretty mean to the kitty.
(Question goes here)? Perhaps (Generalization with the effect radius of an atomic bomb goes here)! (Reasonable Counter to sweeping generalization)? (No True Scotsman fallacy variant). So, (Reinforcement of needlessly broad generalization). End of story!
Thank you Mike, for submitting this.
Matilde,
actually, Mussolini was an atheist, at least in his younger years. In a public debate on religion right after WWI, he said "If there is a God, he should strike me down in the next five minutes" or something to that effect. I don't know if he converted later on, but he definitely tempered his public persona as a friend of the Church.
Criminals, homosexuals, perverted: Pedophile priests.
Murderers, theives, liars, rapists, adulterers: do I really need to show you those prison population statistics again?
Warmongers: See Bush administration.
Well, "myspaceinvader", the basis of ethics and morality can be much, much more than just "fear of God".
It has many advantages to base ones ethics NOT on fear. Ethics and morality which is NOT based on fear stand on much firmer ground.
Why not be "Good for Goodness' sake"? Then you can be "Good without God" ... then you are good AND life makes much more fun. Win-Win situation ;-)
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
