See, this is the thing pissing me off most about some religious people. Their own admission of nothing holding them back if there was no god and no afterlife. So you, like some before you, would be the perfect asshole. The only thing keeping you from graduating to become the next Ted Bundy is your religious fears.

"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.
