Atheists don't subscribe to a list of specific tenets. You've been here longer than I have,so it should be clear to you by now how very different atheists are from one another aside from lacking belief.
Atheists are very different you say?
Great!
I shall here and wait till one happens along who thinks its OK for the Old Testament Israelites to run their society according to the moral code in question.
They had a very strict punishment for homosexual sex (technically adultery).
And no matter how hard I look, I can't find any homosexuals actually being stoned to death under Mosaic Law.
Deterrence - much better than having to deal with the aftermath of immorality/evil/crime/sin.
I think this is fsdt material.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
