I found that a little disgusting. As in the sense of the fact that some theists actualy believe in that dribble.
Comments like these "So you think if no one believed in any religion there would be no wars or fighting? I think it would be worse. I know if I didn’t fear god’s judgement I would have killed many many times."
Kinda proves that we are far more mature and moral than what they are. If they rely on an imaginary friend warning them of hell in order to be moral is actually saying they have no morality in the first place.
I have an ethical standard. I have that standard by being able to understand and comprehend other people's feelings and pain. I don't require a god (imaginary friend) to have morality and so by being able to have a moral standard through understanding makes me a far better person than any theist that relies on fear through god.
His post shows a serious lack of understanding.
Anyone who gains morality through fear alone has no morality.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
