Is being a theist immoral in your opinion?

[Fireball]

OP: Yes. OMG, how do you live with yourself? Find a cliff or tall building NOW!

  Love your irreverence. I used to frequent an atheist site where one of the people used to tell the religious to apply the "Jesus Existence Test"- go to the top of a building and jump off. If you are a true believer™, he will save you.

I read through to this point (not to the end, yet), but I'm not sure that the question that I get from the OP has been addressed. The religious claim that atheists are immoral; they tell atheists that without religion, they'd be like suicide bombers, only in every aspect of society.

Atheists point out that the immorality of some of the atrocious behavior performed by the religious can be placed at the root of religious belief. (I'm tired; I've been up and down ladders for the last 10 hours, running conduit and wires. If this sentence isn't making sense, I may elaborate, tomorrow). Is that what you are asking, CL? I personally fall on the side of seeing that people can be made to do immoral things if convinced in some way that their religion condones it. I think that this is pretty obvious in current world events. I'm an atheist; you'd pretty hard pressed to see me wearing a Semtex vest for our goddess, Athe, or for any other reason.

Um... are you okay?

Yeah, just had a laparoscopy done a few days ago to address some issues. The surgery procedure pierces the abdominal muscles so movement is a bit painful for a while.

You are lucky to have had a laparoscopy instead of a laparotomy. I've had two laparotomies, and my abs have never been the same. Hope all is well!
