Bad people will do bad things and good people will do good things no matter their religious views. But religion is the only thing that can make a good person do bad things while believing they are good.

Not so. I think most communists thought they were doing good by killing people of faith. People have also done horrible things in the name of nationalism. Many have killed in the in the name of family disputes. Christ never advocated murdering in his name.

P.S. If the only reason a person does a good thing is because they are expecting a reward or preventing a punishment, then they aren't really a good person.

I agree. But the result is the same. Many are doing good things simply because that is what they think God wants them to do. Many people lives self-serving lives and then, after conversion, become cheerful givers to society.

Do you ever question the honesty of accepting something as evidence when the conclusion agrees with what you believe, while dismissing the same kind of evidence the moment it disagrees?

No Esquilax. In fact, believe it or not, I have changed my mind on a number of issues since joining this forum.
