Well, considering I became an atheist seven years before losing my virginity, and I waited in a relationship for three years until my girlfriend, who later became my wife, was ready, I'd saying the desire to fornicate played absolutely no part of it. But please, do go on sanctimoniously speculating on my motivations. It would be humorous if it wasn't so egregiously ignoratn.

Considering the best evidence you could muster was "it's just everywhere, man! Look around!" I think we can be fairly certain that the lack of evidence is a major contributing factor.
Consider this, since I know it's hard for a christian to put themselves in anyone else's shoes: without a belief in god, the sexual mores he demands are just arbitrary means of control. Without a belief in god, without the fist shaking threats, there's no reason to follow those meaningless commandments, except for where there's some applicable, real world sense to them. If you'd actually thought about this honestly for a moment, instead of using the available information thoughtlessly to smear atheists, you'd understand that our sexual relaxation is based in our disbelief, which is based in the lack of evidence, not the reverse.

Well, Esquillax, to consider that people aren't atheists because of some ulterior motives means considering that the evidence isn't as ubiquitous as they've deluded themselves into believing. It's a defense mechanism at its finest.

Did Chad really pull the old "you're an atheist just because you want to sin" card? Really, Chad? That's like me saying that you're a Christian because you want to remain bigoted and ignorant (which I'm not saying, and I hope that isn't at all the case).

The only reason I'm an atheist is because...
Of many reasons blind theists will never comprehend.

And you are surprised because?
Even if you overlook the fact that he is also way down there with GC, Drich and like in his discernment, penetration and desperation, he is still the very same smarmy wooters who casually informed us that not to agree with hhis world view is to go to hell.

GC The wrong interpretation? Or the one you don't like.
Well, if you don't fancy throwing the stones at the kids, we could always throw the kids at the stones
“Happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us – he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks"
What's the correct interpretation of that one?
You give me an interpretation of the stoning of children that disobey.
The verse you are using, trying to make God look like the bad guy is in actuality a cry from a distraught Israelite who was anguishing over the disaster of his people.
GC
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

FNM and Esq, I invite you to reconsider your opinion in light of Ryanology's profile GIF and his comments. I think it is safe to say those count as evidence that my speculation about motives applies, at the very least, to Ryan.
