Bullshit, bullshit. Only a seriously twisted evil person can think that and I know you guys don't really believe that, you're just saying that to give your point more weight, whatever, but still, not cool though. Don't agree with it at all but you're entitled to your opinion.
They don't think evil exists in the first place. So a person who rapes, tortures, and kills a child is not an evil person. And doing those things to a child is not an evil thing to do.
Sorry, but where the fuck do you get off, strawmanning like that? Personally I think people are fully capable of perpetrating acts which we might label as evil. It's the notion of evil as a force independent of human behaviour, that's where I draw the line. It's probably safe to say that a lot of us would tend to agree on that.
But to go from there to saying that we think that raping a child etc is not an evil thing to do is unutterably disgusting. If you have an ounce of decency, you should apologise to every atheist on this forum.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
