I've known some theists to do some pretty shitty things, like ring the doorbell before eight on a Saturday morning, distribute anti-abortion junk mail to a high school English class as if the class and the junk were science, claim to tell his wife how to vote, attempt to convert my kids, assume prayers in school assemblies were okay, picket abortion clinics, hand me stuff about how I'm going to hell. . .
But I don't think I've ever met a theist in the flesh who was a shitty human being all of the time. Mostly their are nice or at least reasonably nice people with this little bugagboo that only shows up under certain circumstances. . .
I think the problem on the net is that generally we are only hearing about the bugaboo, because that's why they are on that site. They probably talk about kittens, movies, and feeding the homeless someplace else.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
