Does God actually speak to you or are you putting words in his mouth (i.e. "Friedrich Nietzsche is dead... god") which I'm fairly sure under your religion is a sin.
Still, Hypocrisy is rife in Christianity, why would you be any different?

Nothing sinful in my signature, and yes God speaks to me, if He didn't I would have something to worry about. The hypocrisy lives only in your mind.

My point is, god never said that, ever... did he. You or some other pseudo-Theologian did.
I fully admit I am prone to hypocrisy and contradiction, not just in my mind but in some of the things I occasionally say or do, but I'm a decent human who'd rather not lie about the reality of who I am. Guess my atheist morality is better than Christian morality after all. Wow I'm finding out a lot of interesting things today.

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
