Why Do Atheists Criticize People's Beliefs?

[Valyza1]

Are you intentionally twisting my words around or are you honestly just getting a different meaning from what I said?  I literally said "C hates the world and doesn't want his family to have to live in it anymore".  That clearly implies that not only does he think it's a terrible place for him, but for them as well.

Good for him, but he's till a terrible person.  I know that you tried...real hard, to make this one stick, but.....?

Personally, I agree that he's a terrible person. I also think A is an equally terrible person. But your opinion and my opinion of what kind of a person either one is, is irrelevant. I'm starting to get the sense that no matter how much I try to clarify this, you're just going to keep accusing me of trying to "make something stick". Not even sure what you mean by that, but it's getting tiring and starting to seem pointless to continue.

Moot what issue?  I think that A and C are acting badly and B and D are acting well and that their beliefs are not determining whether or not they act well or badly.  That's the point of the scenario.  What am I missing?

That A is acting badly -because- he's a good person™ with beliefs.  How could a person be acting badly if they were acting out the will of their just god, anyway?

I assume both of us believe there are behaviors that are more or less objectively good and objectively bad. If that's the case, then whether or not a person is acting according to their beliefs has no bearing on whether or not what they are doing is good or bad. Do you agree?
