    One thing that has always bothered me (besides living in the bible belt) is the opinion that one automatically must accept that there is a God in order to believe there is a "right and wrong".

    One can argue the positions of right and wrong on any number of --FUCKING IDIOT LEARN TO SPELL--actiosn--FUCKING IDIOT LEARN TO SPELL--. That is going to be the case even when considering religions, but I find way too often that the people in my area seem to feel that Atheists have no reason to think something is right or wrong, since without God to tell us what not to do everything must be okay.

    Some of those around me have gone so far as to say that anybody who claims themselves an Atheist should have their children raped and murdered right in front of their faces since it should not bother them. Their logic goes something like this. "You don't believe in God, so you think there isn't anything good or evil and since there is no evil, nothing is a sin." If religious people --FUCKING IDIOT LEARN TO SPELL--truely--FUCKING IDIOT LEARN TO SPELL-- believe this, then it makes me wonder if they aren't all just a bunch of ethically and morally horrible people --FUCKING IDIOT LEARN TO SPELL--underneith--FUCKING IDIOT LEARN TO SPELL-- the act. I wonder if they don't choose to be religious because they know if they didn't cling to some form of vague rules they would do things that could cause them to be outcast from society.

    Life feeds on --FUCKING IDIOT LEARN TO USE APPROPRIATE GRAMMAR--life--FUCKING IDIOT LEARN TO USE APPROPRIATE GRAMMAR--, this is how the universe works. It's how life works. I accept this. But logically society can't advance very far with the sentient members going around and damaging other parts of --FUCKING IDIOT LEARN TO SPELL--soceity--FUCKING IDIOT LEARN TO SPELL--, be it fellow people or the property of fellow people. Since that simple logic doesn't take much common sense to figure out, why then does one need to draw on some supreme being in order to create a very simple list of dos and do --FUCKING IDIOT LEARN TO SPELL--nots--FUCKING IDIOT LEARN TO SPELL--?

    Sometimes I --FUCKING IDIOT LEARN TO SPELL--truely--FUCKING IDIOT LEARN TO SPELL-- do get the impression that Atheists are more ethically sound than religious people. I wish I didn't have to make such a broad generalization but more often than not this does seem to hold true.

    Too bad I believe there is no afterlife. I kind of like the idea that only the Atheists would get to go to Heaven.
