Why Do Atheists Criticize People's Beliefs?

Good for him, but he's till a terrible person.  I know that you tried...real hard, to make this one stick, but.....?

Quote:Moot what issue?  I think that A and C are acting badly and B and D are acting well and that their beliefs are not determining whether or not they act well or badly.  That's the point of the scenario.  What am I missing?
That A is acting badly -because- he's a good person™ with beliefs.  How could a person be acting badly if they were acting out the will of their just god, anyway?

Again, you set this up...how long are you going to bullshit me or yourself?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
