Do theists usually lack developed character?

RE: Do theists usually lack developed character?
I see your point, but I could agree with you and michael here. To be fair, I've seen people of all beliefs and non-beliefs act in such a way. I think I know what you mean. They don't necessarily lack their own character, but their own morals. They believe what is told to them, instead of using their own judgment. Some people, in religion, believe they have to kill non-believers, some believe they can't have premarital sex, some believe they shouldn't eat certain animals. They wouldn't believe these things under normal circumstances, but since their book tells them this, that's what they have to do. They don't question anything. They just accept ancient scribblings of unknown authors, or non-credible authors, as proof.
