These aren't real Atheist! Real Atheists don't commit crime!

Yeah. Real Atheists don't flip flop and convert when they are in trouble.

Of course not! For a real Atheist there is nothing to convert to!

Actually, you would be suprised. People who become atheists do so because they got picked on in high school, for an example. Rummage through an atheist's emotional baggage and you will find a pile of leftover teenage angst, a few cases of repressed rage at mommy and daddy, and an overpowering urge to feel superior wrapped around a stupendous amount of self-loathing.Its pretty easy to be an atheist when you are in your teens and 20's. Mostly because of the reasons I  mentioned and because they want to rebel against the community, society or their family so they become the opposite of what they are.But I knnow quite the few cases when a person, that had close-death experience or one of their relatives did, begins to beleive in , higher power and afterlife. so, really atheism is a pretty empty and shallow belief. I would like to see a person 5 minutes away from death and say ''there is no afterlife''.

Religious people on the other hand are ready to go trough everything for their belief and stick to it till death. Jews and Christians are best example of this.

you describe pretty good what i mean with "not a real Atheist"

and of course religious people stick to their belief, because it's easy. they can commit whatever "sin" they want and go to confession and then everything will be forgiven and forgotten after 3 hail marys. they also believe they go to heaven when they die, so they don't care if life is hard for them, they don't care to enjoy living because everything will be fine later. And religious people commit crime, because they don't respect laws that have been made by people.

see? i can generalize and twist and talk in absolutes as well!

Not really, its not that simple. They cant comit whatever sin they want and confess it, there are ''immortal sins'' and the TRUE confession means you have to feel sorry for your sins, not just confess them. And thinking there is afetrlife has nothing o do with not enjoying life. Religious people also arent as near as self loathing as atheists

You didnt generalize as much as you completly missed the point of my post based on your complete ignorance of the subject

i did not miss your point. i just dismissed it as you were being ignorant of my subject that these are not true Athesist you talk about. True Atheists would never do such a thing!

What are you talking about? What things?  What ''true atheists''?  Atheists dont even have a moral code or any code of that matter, they dont even believe in morals (and manage to be extremly self-righteous at the same time). True atheist wouldnt believe in God. Thats it !

Really now?
