Please tell me you are being facetious. You are doing an impression of an arrogant theist, right?
I don't see any winking smilies, so I guess I have to make the horrible conclusion that you are being serious.

What about atheists that are raised in Hindu cultures, to Hindu parents? Are they afraid of the wrath if Hindu gods?
Why would I be afraid of something I do not believe exists?

Actually, I do want to be a good person, and I am.
And I do do whatever I want. Just so happens that all the things I want to do are ethically good.
Quote:Deep in the inside of your heart, you know The Truth.
First of all, the heart is nothing more than a muscle for pumping blood. No feelings take place in the heart.
And now you are a psychic? You are able to tell what I think and believe?
I thought Christians are supposed to be humble?
Repent, brother! For the end is near. Look inside yourself for The Truth that is hidden beneath and deeply yearns to rear its face. Lest the fires of Hell be upon your soul for all eternity.
"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. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
