How confidently can you say every other atheist in this world share your exact moral standards? See, atheism is just "absence of belief", that's just it, there is no 'good atheist' or 'bad atheist' there's just 'atheist' but hey look there's a 'good Christian' that follows the word of God and then there's a 'bad Christian' that doesn't follow the word of God. Atheism isn't like that because there's no guidelines to follow, you just have to not believe. It is only when you not not believe you become a 'bad atheist', some pinnacle of behavioral standard that. Why isn't a atheist rapist not called a "bad atheist" but a Christian rapist is called a "bad Christian" it's precisely because atheist doesn't carry any other meaning other than 'I don't believe'. There's an implication that all behaviors whether good or bad is acceptable within the atheism realms. So where are your morals? You will of course say such and such are my morals and those will be good morals as well I have no doubt but what about every other atheist on the planet, do they share your exact same morals? A Christian is going to be a Christian whether he is in Russia, Japan, Germany or France, you can trust a Christian to be a Christian but you can't trust a atheist to be a atheist because there is nothing to trust.

You see no evidence because there is none. There is no equation that leads to God, there is no chemical formula, there's no special glasses through which you look and suddenly discover God. God is in our hearts.

What is truth? The very limited access to information we have and suddenly we declare it the truth ™. Kind of naive and arrogant don't you think? An ant probably thinks it's perception of the world is the truth ™ as well, I can only call that attitude "cute". Like I said, broaden your mind and at least try to see the bigger picture because you declare you can just fine.
