Christians don't murder people 'cause God told them not to. But even if they do, they can still pray away their sins and get to heaven.

Atheists don't murder people 'cause murdering people is wrong. It's not really any more complicated than that.
Exactly, they can perpetrate whatever crimes against others that they want as long as they believe in a fictional person and repent to said fictional person.

Athiests have no fictional person that lets them off the hook.

Don't really care; as long as they leave me alone.

In the area I live I have a lot of Hindu neighbors. They have fun holidays.

Unfortunately most atheists don’t feel the way you do. So many, like a couple responding here have this internal crusade to convince people of faith that they are wrong. Must suck knowing they are pissing into the wind.

The same as any other person, they just don't believe in ghosts.
That whole question is so fuddernutter moronic.

Gods are made up by man, and man instills their own morals and values into their gods. The idea that you need an invisible superdaddy to have a moral code is pure silliness.
That said, Jesus still loves you.

There's a world of difference between posting on a forum versus talking to people IRL. I've never proselytized atheism to anyone in person. If asked, I won't hide, but it's something that so very rarely comes up in the course of a day.

In comparison, I've lost count on the number of people literally knocking on my door to convert me to their religion. No atheist anywhere has ever done that.

It turns my guts too flam when people go door to door trying to convince me of anything. Religion is so high on that list because of all things religion shouldn’t have made the list. Also agree that aside from a board like this my religious beliefs are never discussed in real life. Well sometimes I do mention this little Happy guy that pisses into the wind….

I don't know why you always have to be on this crusade, lol, convincing otherwise. Let it be. To you 'Jesus' is a four-letter word or a three-letter cursing acronym. It's very disrespectful. Let it be, man. Let it be. :D

Many atheists are as bad as vegans with their sanctimonious lecturing and preaching. I think they are trying to convince themselves more than others of their beliefs. :roll:

Jehovah Witnesses save money on gifts.
"Racist" is a toolword. You must know that.
Any objective examination of the effect of "them" has to lead you to the behavior and ideology that is now termed, "racist."

Refute if you can.

I disagree, it's Christians who are always trying to convert non believers not the other way around until they are confronted by witnessing.

It's actually everyone. You have heard the song, "everybody wants to rule the world". "atheists" are no different. atheists are mainly bitchers, stock and trade. that's too harsh, edit that atheists primary driver is to be an anti religion. but amongst the bitching it turns into its own statist religion. you might have seen the statists controlling society for a brief time during the pandemic. they called themselves science and really had their own utiopia in mind and amongst the faithful still do.

This thread has just proven to the me that the average IQ on the OFR is quite a bit lower than I had imagined. Didn't think that was possible. :lol:

I stand with MLK here: where they will not be judged by their religion but by the content of their character.

I never gave it much of thought, other than if my neighbor was available to golf on Sunday or Saturday, or both.

I can sit and enjoy a beer with HLT, CR, and all of you and everyone else on the planet as long as they drink. If they don't drink they are assholes and not welcome as my neighbor. :wink:
I speak for everyone. I am omnipotent :!:

I would counter with the statement that atheists have a reason to bitch. Religion has been crammed down our throats for thousands of years. Science is far from perfect but it is self correcting something that religion is not.
