The reason is just They are way, way better than you, that’s all.   Nothing complicated.

How stupid do you need to be to actually not see something so obvious?

If it was really so obvious, you would be able to provide a better explanation than just, "they're better than you", which is bullshit, but I think a lot of atheists think that.

If you mean do I think I'm better than the religionists who rape children and fly planes into buildings and drink poisoned Kool Aid and burn 'witches' and treat women like property and ban books and set fire to health centres and terrorize little kids and picket the funerals of veterans and indoctrinate child soldiers and cut off hands and mutilate genitals and think crackers magically transform into human flesh and who believe in arks and talking snakes and talking donkeys and magical beings and giants and monsters and demons and angels?

Yes. Yes I do.

It's not an assumption. It's a conclusion reached after years of intense research and testing, which can be verified by examining the opposite position: Is a person who rapes children better than a person who doesn't rape children?

Research and testing......? No one is any better or worse than anyone else. You can think you're better all you want, but at the end of the day, nobody is perfect.

That's nonsense. Some people are better than some other people, some people are worse. Are you really going to stand behind the claim that rapists are no worse than non-rapists?

Yes, no one is perfect, but that's only because Fred Rogers is dead.

You don't have to be perfect to be better than a chld rapist. Just sayin'.

Who mentioned perfect?

If that is truly what you believe, Ahriman, kindly refrain from saying anything at all about morality.
