Morally Depraved because I came out Atheist
Whenever I come out Atheist .. they assume I must have no ethics or morals whatsoever and that I am willing to do just about anything --- like lie, cheat and steal.
Anyone else have this happen to them?

Joan, I hope there are no hard feelings. I was only having a little fun. I didn't mean to offend anyone. I'm sorry if my effort at humor crossed a line with you. I know how much you add to the site and I greatly respect your contributions and intillect. I didn't at all intend to hurt your feelings.

Oh my goodness, NO. I had fun with the concept as well and fooled around with the idea today. It gave me a different way of posing the questions. You just know that your response was splendid!.

Steph, I pretended to be a religious person who was answering Joan's questions. It might not have gone over so well.

No one seems angry that I know of.
I think they got your point. They understood your message.

You are right that god is a motivator for the theist to commit crimes. Or maybe they think that they can commit the crime and get forgiveness for it. And then all is good again until they do something else wrong.

I Agree. Religion not only allows crimes against humanity and the planet, but requires dominion over both, a perfect beginning for tyranny. When a person or a people claim a piece of land because god gave it to them is evidence of delusions. When challenged about their man-made-god they deny their fabrication. They believe god created earth and the rich variety of food and soils and resources for them. The grains, plants, fruits, vegetables exist because god gave them to their people. The fish of the seas, animals of the earth, birds of the air are created for their people. The air, fire, water and soils god created for their use and right to take from anyone who is "other".
They believe they are a chosen people.
They think they are entitled to all this because they accepted Christ as their lord and savior.
They believe those who do not obey and submit are going to burn in hell for eternity.
Religion is a mental delusion, an evil personification of unseen and unseeable entities with established creeds, dogmas, litanies, songs, stories, ceremonies, rituals, attitudes, customs, traditions and values that poisons them and harms all that get in their way.
Religion also creates faux virtues that do not stand up to basic ethics and morals.
To be accused of being "Morally Depraved because I came out Atheist" reveals the depth of THEIR depravity.

Let us not forget that it was Christian Orthodox Serbians who slaughtered Muslims in Bosnia.
Christian Orthodox Serbian mass murderers were Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic.
John Ashcroft declared there is "no king but Jesus."
Billy Graham was an opportunistic anti-semite.
USA Air Force Academy Christians bullied Jews and atheists who were not "born again".
