pete, did you really think I wasn't being serious, even though my logic, since I borrowed most of it from you, is completely full of holes?

You don't get off the hook for your inflammatory comments about atheists. Please explain why you think atheists are "shutting off the sense of wrongdoing and not being able to recognize it anymore."

Do you have any evidence to support this assertion? Can you offer any examples of atheists who have no sense of wrongdoing, where that lack of sense was caused by their atheism? Do you recognize that some people, of all religions or lack thereof, are evil people? Have you not looked at the Catholic Church lately? Do you know that there are good people from every group and every walk of life, regardless of their religion? Which type of person are you? Do you have any clue about how offensive it is to say this sort of thing to people? Is insulting people in a crass, ego-centric way part of your Christianity?

Do you know that you, right here and now, are the reason so many people have no patience with Christians?
