In general, a man with religion is better than an atheist.

[rumbuggerylash]

He is better because he is potentially less dangerous. A man with religion has his rules, and he does follow them form time to time, but an atheist has no rules. An atheist is only kept in check by what he can get away with and his imagination. For example, if an atheist were to have absolute power, then he could kill anyone that displeases him, but a man with religion, with absolute power, can kill only the heathens. If you are not a heathen, then a man with religion can't simply kill you because you displease him, but an atheist could. Also, if you are a heathen, then you could easily pretend to be a man with religion, and the man with religion, with absolute power, can't touch you. In addition, faking being a man with religion is pretty easy, but faking being an atheist is not so easy.

You're either a troll, touched in the head or both.

Rumbuggerylash deserves to be buggered, plied with the lash, and have rum pored over his wound.

Xtians commit all kinds of shit, get absolved and go to heaven. What kind of rules they have, again?

Me, the revulsion associated with spending years out of the only life I get in prison is enough to keep me on the straight and narrow..ish.

But what if an atheist used his superior intellect to figure out a way to avoid prison whilst doing all sorts of evil. A man with religion still has hell to worry about and may refrain from taking advantage of such a situation because of hell, but there is nothing to stop an atheist.

Self control? Self discipline?
I take it you're one of those sorts who think atheists have no morals right?
Well, you're dead wrong. So please, move along.

[Minimalist]

Just another fucking moron.

Somebody must have written our url on the wall of a church bathroom..... or a nut house bathroom.

That's right, the atheist will use the fact that nothing is there to stop him to kill all the theists, and use his superior intellect to make those deaths so hidious that no future generation will ever be tempted to take the theist path again. So watch out, we are coming after you almost like we are a fanatical religious mob or something.

The religious man only has to repent a few seconds before he fucks off. Escape clause.

"but there is nothing to stop an atheist."

Stupid, just plain stupid.

So, I take it, that governments no longer have laws in this scenario? And, by the way, religious men do kill people who displease them. As a matter of fact, some Muslims killed 3,000 people who displeased them about ten years ago in New York.
