If you proclaim yourself Christian, I expect you to adhere to its tenets. If you do not, how important, how imperative, are those tenets?
Let's go back to Square One: What do you think are the tenets of atheism?
We have a problem here, Thump. Which tenet is he supposed to adhere to? The one where Jesus tells his disciple put away your sword. They who live by the sword will die by the sword. Or the one where he tells his disciple take your sword. If you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one?
They say atheists need moral absolutes, but the bible certainly does not fulfill that need.
Anything a Christian wants to do, he can find scripture to support it.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
