God fearing people are greedy, they will help you because that to them is their ticket to heaven.
Sometimes I think it's laughable how they think they are so pious, but really it's saving your own butt so one can be favoured by god and to mock those who were'nt religious enough and didn't make it.
An atheist that is kind is the purest form of kindness there is.
Religious people, holier than thou.
Jesus did. Jesus promoted communal living, where the society administered from the cumulative wealth of it's members works and goods, distributing to each individual, fairly and according to their needs.

To say you are an atheist is just as silly as saying you know there is a god.
There is absolutely no evidence for either argument, and by picking a side you have closed you mind off to any other option. AKA ignorance.
In my eyes you self proclaimed atheists have you head just as far up your BUMS as those to claim they know god exists.
Keep an open mind, and don't get trapped up in any one belief system, Atheism is just another belief system.

Did you just say that there is no evidence that there isn't a god?

I can understand the hatred of god but good and evil are not conditional which some day if there really is a God I hope to teach him. However that does not change the fact that morality is taught to you, not born in you.
