Tick one box to explain the position that you believe the statement "A lack of faith in gods" implies in answer to this statement.

I thought Theists believe the opposite

Very nice; but in an Athiest world how and who decides what is good/bad
or is that up to each individual. Is there even a universal good/bad or would it all be relative?
Fidel_Castronau Wrote:I see this argument as the reverse of how a theist sees it. I honestly believe that some theists think like this becuase they want to be judged on a narcissistic level. "Look at me [god], look at all the good things I've done in my life".quite the opposite by personal my experience it would be interesting to have the pre Athiest feelings of those who were once Theists on if this would have described them.
Fidel_Castronau Wrote:And I read once that pride was a sin.Well its considered the worse one of the seven deadly sins but pride itself is not the sin it is the root cause of many other sins. The main meaning in the theological sense would be..especially holding self out of proper position toward God.
