Atheists who have converted to theism?

Very true.

I think it's not a matter of belief for MK and many others, it's a matter of it being seared into their brain as undeniable fact. No one can "try" not believing something, any more than I can "try" believing in God.

Just to clarify, some people are psycopaths, as highlighted in my DIY guide to morality above. It's not their fault they are this way. Some people just are, they don't have empathy. It is just unfortunate that this means they won't mesh well with society unless they mimic, to some extent, someone who does have empathy.

Of course, there are plenty of reasons not to go around killing and raping, even if you don't actually care about other people. The most obvious one is eventually you'll most likely go to prison for a very long time, which should be a deterrent to anyone who at least cares about themselves.
