I'm not going to discuss anything more with you until you stop making these ridiculous strawmen.
An atheist is not by definition a sceptic, and even a sceptic doesn't necessarily hold the view you are putting forth. In fact, I doubt you'd find many sceptics who would make such a bold statement. I wouldn't. So in fact you're utterly misrepresenting two groups at once. Also, someone who is undecided about whether God exists or not is an atheist, so they would clearly not say what you are suggesting.
It's sad to see you have to define our position for us in order to "defeat" it. You've had this explained to you at length already, as well as being spelled out on my website in great detail. I gave you the benefit of the doubt before, but what can I call this except dishonesty?
You have been given extremely detailed answers by myself and others, which do address your points. You don't want to accept evolution as an answer, but that is what it comes down to in the end.
I said we are generally good. I never claimed everyone was good, or in fact that some people aren't really evil. Of course they are. Again, misrepresenting what I've said by finding an exception to a rule I was not making.
