Well when you get theists declaring openly and unashamedly - even gleefully - that if there was no god (or "God") to which to be held accountable, they would run about raping, killing, stealing, generally doing anything that makes them feel good, that "criticism" can seem justified. I'm not even talking about this reasonable revelation either; just ask Kent "single-cell animal" Hovind's spawn and the company he elects to keep:
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.'
