What do Theists Think About Atheists?

[freedomfromforum]

Only God knows your heart. As a practical matter Scripture tells is that we know people by their fruits.

I have a gay couple as neighbors and they seem like the most loving, joyous, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle and self-controlled people I've met in a long time. Fruit like that Chad, or are you so discerning that the verses that immediately precede these are held to a higher degree of credibility in the Cherry Pickers Buybull™? Most self-proclaimed christians don't have half of the qualities (fruit) listed in Galatians 5:22-23, but share more than one or two features found in the preceding verses (5:19-21) condemning the sinful acts of the flesh, namely; Sexual immorality, impurity, Idolatry, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, self-ambition, dissensions, factions, envy, and drunkenness. Now Chad, these are the qualities that describe most of the christians I know or have ever known. It seems that "they will not inherit the kingdom of heaven." (I've bolded the sinful acts of the flesh that Paul has condemned. I see most christians regularly engaged in as a daily lifestyle)

Theists think that all of the good stuff in the buybull is talking about them, and they think that all of the condemnation crap in the buybull is aimed at atheists. It's simple really. Oh, sure, they may dispute this fact, but just "look at their friut" and you'll know the truth.
