Is it fair to say?

Jesus C-L, what the hell do you mean  by "don't want to be a good person"? I am a dedicated, full time atheist and have no desire to "go out and do whatever you want and not feel bad", nor am I "afraid of the wrath of God" since I see no evidence that such a thing/being or whatever exists. I do my best to "do unto others as I wish to be done unto". I have no interest what others believe or do as long as I am not physically attacked. If you want to believe in "God" that is your business, I just don't want to be preached at.

I've read the Bible, been to Sunday school as a child and have never been able to see any reason to believe. I was never able to understand "sheep, shepherds lords,kings," (and still don't) or that someone who was assassinated could love me or guide me. And lets face it, the emanate re-coming hasn't come about even though all Christian denominations insist that Jesus will come at any time and so we should keep out houses in order. Hogwash.

I admire your ability to keep your faith in this day and age when there is so much scientific evidence of the inadequacies of Bible precepts. I have always felt that the Bible at best was a guide and that much was myth in the interest of "helping" people. One problem with (especially) the KJV Bible is it talks of [as above] which we have no understanding. In this time we live in a predominately urban society that has little to no contact with shepherds or Lords. We are not beholding to some one who controls our lives as in medieval Europe.

In any case I am quite happy with my life as an atheist. I don't find it in conflict with my understanding of the universe.
BTW the big bang wasn't. It was an inflation; light and vibrations that produce sound came seconds or hours after the whole thing started.

Well I guess I've run out of steam so I'll stop.

I wouldn't take it too personally.  They have to think like this to avoid accidentally realizing there are good reasons not to believe in fair tales and magical powers.  Of course, usually they aren't so arrogant and dickish about it.

But anyway, I wouldn't let this bother you coming from someone whose mind and way of thinking is so twisted that they can't see the logical flow from "I am afraid of God's wrath" to "I will do what she says so I do not incur her wrath" and instead thing we go from, "I am afraid of God's wrath" to "So I will refuse to believe in her, but remain afraid of her wrath".  It's one idiotic belief in a stack of idiotic, contradictory beliefs, none of which make any sense.  Yes, it's particularly incensing and insulting, but look who you're talking to.  Do you really expect higher thought processes?  From someone who has to think with their "heart" because even their brain is just too damned functional to process the information and come out with the answer they want?  I wouldn't sweat it.

LOL I was joking sillies.

I was only behaving in the way that some of you expect all of us Christians to behave.
