All but a handful of you walk into our neigborhood with beams in your own eyes complaining about the specks in ours. The only evidence you can possibly have is how you comport yourselves, and you can't (with a few exceptions) even succeed at that.
According to members here, atheists are just as moral, and charitable as christians, so what makes you think you should expect better behavior from a christian than atheist?
Um...we don't. Most of us expect worse behavior from christians, actually...because that's what we see...all the fucking time...
Also, as I've said before, christians are not moral, they're legalistic. There's a difference.
Moral people do good things and avoid doing bad things because they think that's the morally correct course. Legalists do things because the rules allow them to and/or because they fear punishment if they deviate from those rules. Which system sounds more like the one used by religion? Hmmm...
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
