I'm sure your no credential having self can conclude anything you want... Why does anyone have to take you seriously though?

Atheists can be immoral too. People can be immoral. Both theists and atheists can be immoral.
I was saying that theists who think they need religion to stop themselves from raping or killing seem pretty damn psychopathic.
Quote:If penalty for crime was a sufficient deterrent, then there shouldn't be anyone committing crimes, right?
You're completely missing the point. It's not about deterring people. The fact that many theists would act immorally without the threat of hell because the police aren't enough to deter them just goes to show how psychopathic some theists are.
Really?
Then how do you explain the behavior of certain religious priests?
