Of-course religious people do bad things sometimes. But at least their religion forces them to acknowledge within themselves the evil they do. Atheists have no such guidance. They are just like psychopaths! Cold, mechanical, soul-dead!

"Of-course religious people do bad things sometimes."Per capita, they do wrong things more often than atheists.
"But at least their religion forces them to acknowledge within themselves the evil they do."
Their religion tells them that they are forgiven for their misdeeds and do not have to take a substantial amount of personal responsibility for them.
"Atheists have no such guidance."
We require no guidence from imaginary friends.
"They are just like psychopaths!"
No, we are not psychopaths, but thanks for saying so.
"Cold, mechanical, soul-dead!"
No, I am not cold nor mechanical, and, until you prove that souls exist, you have no basis for claiming that my soul is dead.
Unless, of course, they're not cold, mechanial, soul-dead.
The slogan "not perfect, just forgiven" displays all the arrogance of people who consider themselves above the rules to which they hold everyone else.
"Of-course atheist people say untrue things sometimes. But at least their intelligence forces them to acknowledge within themselves the lie they speak. Fundies have no such guidance. They are just like psychopaths! Delusional, animalistic, braindead.
C'mon folks. This "they're all alike, and they're all how I've been told they are" is exactly what got Hitler the support he needed, and it's the underlying principle behind practically all forms of racism. You're not here to pit yourselves against the secular population! God didn't tell you to make enemies of your flock, he said your job was -- is to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all nations. This Westboro crap is only alienating the very souls you are here to save. Quit congratulating yourselves on how much holier you are and get back to work.
I'm studying to be a doctor so I can help people. I've worked as a counselor taking care of children. I try not to impose my views on others and I have nothing against religious people, but, oops I'm an athiest (A choice I came to after years of thinking it through) So I must be "cold, mechanical and soul dead" then ?
I charge that those of us who have morality without the threats of eternal punishment or reward are much better people than those who don't.
Ermmm
how do you know that psychopaths are Cold, mechanical, soul-dead? my local priest said he had a soul......
unfortunately religious people can use their creed to validate, justify, and excuse their crimes - especially against GLBT people, since these commit abominable crimes that god hates
I'm not cold and mechanical (souls are an idea, not a fact) and neither are millions of other atheists
You get psychopaths with religions too
I have guidance...
Atheists have no such guidance.
They are just like psychopaths! Cold, mechanical, soul-dead!
every time I read one or these I die a little inside. I really wish everyone could understand more about each other. Not all religious people are like that and I have yet to meet and atheist who was as horrable as they're made out to be. Honestly, children, can't we just play nicely?
Bullshit mullah. Paul Hill, Clayton Lee Waagner, Eric Rudolph, Michael Griffin, John Salvi - all fundy psychopaths who committed crimes in the name of religion and all said it was justified. They don't think they were commiting evil; they say they were doing what the Bible said! You fundies are a lot closer to psychopaths than mainstream Christians or atheists.
The fact of the matter is that there are good religious people and there are bad religious people. There are also good athiests and bad athiests. It takes religion, or something like it, to make good people do bad things.
Morality does not come from religion. It is genetic.
See I don't have to be scared of going to Hell to be a moral person. I'm a moral person because I feel that it is right.
And I am in no way against structured religion... Because I can't imagine how fucked up this world would be if all the Sheep-like, No brained , Idiots had nothing to scare them into being good.
its like theism was an excuse
do you truly need a leash
No charity has escaped my grip

'But at least their religion forces them to acknowledge within themselves the evil they do.'
WRONG, shithead! Paul Hill NEVER acknowledged his criminal acts - he said it was 'Biblically' justified.
funny cause Athiests have obligations to family, friends, and loved ones.
When you are an Atheist you only have the natural world- so actually there is a lot to live for!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
