No worries. I'm sure they all run together.
I started this thread: http://atheistforums.org/thread-34018.html
Which is related to goodness but is not asking why atheists are good, and which in fact points out that this is a silly question.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
