I make a post asking an honest question that has absolutely nothing to do with my beliefs, and you ask a sarcastic question about my beliefs. Being an atheist doesn't mean you have to be an ass hole to theists every time you get the chance.
If you are genuinely curious to know what I have to say about that, feel free to send me a PM and we can discuss it. Otherwise, please do not attempt to derail my thread.
This is a topic about what is the morally right thing to do in the scenario you described in the OP. And given what you have said in the past about God and morality, God should be relevant to this discussion. But this just goes to show me that even with theists, when it comes to moral "dilemmas" like this, they do not (and cannot) consult God for moral reference. Instead, they rely on reason and opinion to determine what is right or not.
My personal answer to this is similar to what Aroura said. But what I find curious is why the person in the OP thought about their race anyway. That itself almost seems like racism. You genuinely see suspicious behaviour, report it to the police (if you must) regardless of the race of the person who is doing so.
