That is a lousy way for people to think and live but they do and yes I'll include some christians in that. Without a true standard this is the world we have and it will get much worse.
I've said before that I've never met a single Christian who didn't see Jesus as a glorified reflection of themselves. They claim that their god provides an objective standard of morals and yet this standard always seem to be whatever they want it to be.
From a deist point of view what is the standard for benevolence?

Key word being "belief" they're are an unfathomable amount of religious people who want us to convert. Each with their own ethos, God and "proofs" MTost Ateists are freethinking people and go with evidence and reason. When given that We will convert. It really is that simple.
That however is not very likely to happen, But the emphasis is on YOU( person making the claim) To prove it. Until then please keep the condescension to a minimum.

I'm not being condescending.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
