How did you become an atheist?

But why would you trust me more if I said something bad. Couldn't I be dishonest, but decent, like Evie described? I guess we know which one you prefer, though.

For the record I can't decide whether I think ultimately decency or honesty is more important. As I said, both are massively important and it depends..

Of course, to have both is preferable... but to have one of either is better than to have neither.

I can imagine cases where it wouldn't be preferable to have both at the same time, or one of them in particular. But as a general rule, I agree - it's better to be both honest and decent.

Just to be sure I understand you, though. Why do you value decency?
