I think it makes a huge difference how a person lives their life.  It's pretty clear, to me, that a kind and loving father who provides for his children isn't the same as a serial abuser who finally does them the mercy of abandoning them - for example.

What you're looking for are sociopaths, not atheists...sociopaths.

I've heard greed is one of the seven deadly sins. If there is no repercussions for living a life of greed, and that makes ones life more comfortable. Then what is the problem with greed?

Isn't that the same website that Little Rik was obsessed with?

Yes there have been some controlled experiments, reality is most weren't conclusive enough to establish any scientific facts.

If nobody else in the history of humanity has come back from the dead, what's more likely - Jesus was able to do it, or it's not a real story? It's not even close, the odds are very obviously in favor of the latter. "Nobody knows for sure so it could go either way" is very poor logic.

Sure have, I was taught to live on 90% of my income and invest 10%, I followed that advice for a future payoff, and it did pay off very well.

Reality is many have come back from the dead, you may not want to accept it, but it is a fact.
