Your stance on Hard Atheism

They probably couldn't feel remorse because they were sociopaths. I myself am a sociopath, so remorse does nothing to keep me from killing people. Religion does that.

Actually, the fear of retribution does that. We can supply real tangible retribution, and that should keep any higher IQ sociopath in line more effectively than a infantile fantasy coupled with transparent sophistry. But for a low IQ sociopath like you religion is likely just as effective.

The problem is hitler, Stalin, and pol pot were all highly likely to have been sociopaths of exceptionally high IQ, unlike you. Thus if real tangible retribution couldn't stay their hand, it would be idiotic to assume a fairy tale would have.

Trying to insult somebody by claiming they have a low IQ only works if that person does, in fact, have a low IQ. I do not. The fear of retribution does absolutely nothing to stop serial killers from killing. Most of them have very high IQs. The fact that dictators attain a position of power where there is no fear of retribution eliminates this as a factor. And no, fear does not stop me from doing anything I feel like doing.
