No. I'm saying that often people can't see the difference.

So what your saying is Christians indistinguishable from atheists..... Dodgy

The reason that people believe is that they are unable to cope with nihilism, in particular, the idea of death being a state of irrecoverable annihilation. Such is a bridge that many are unable or unwilling to cross. Plus, for many, faith is also an aphrodisiac, and also helps manage and mitigate stress in young children, which aides in allowing even more sex.

I don't think most Christians and atheists believe it's OK to steal, but most have.

Seems a true believer would have some knowledge of the ten commandments they supposedly adhere to.

I seem to recall there being a 'Though shalt not steal' amongst that particular big ten.

Apparently, god is a poor deterrent.

I'm not sure, but I can't shake it. When I examine things that's what I get.
