Theistic morality

You see though, that's the lovely thing about being atheist. There's no invisible monster's arbitrary rules to follow. There is no rule stating that atheists have to be good people or help anybody else. There is no rule stating that we have to suppress our own desires or sate our pleasures. There is no great reward for doing anything that isn't selfish. When atheists do good things, we do it because we want to, or because our conscience guides us to.

Meanwhile, how many of you have sold all your possessions, as compared to the number of you who can quickly whip up excuses for not doing so, or creative ways to interpret the Bible so that this direction doesn't actually apply to you or any other Christian you know?

If you really cared about suffering, you would at least make a token effort do what your savior told you to do. Obviously, there aren't that many of you who care about anybody but yourselves. You better hope your god appreciates your attempts to justify your inaction, because the whole lot of you are in serious trouble if he doesn't.
