Hey, Guest... as i say, I bridle against generalities about Atheists, too. Read my last post. Art Thieme has been one of my very dearest friends for most of my adult life and there are very few people I admire as much as him. I could write many, many posts of wonderful, righteous, moral Atheists and Agnostics I love, including family members and one of my sons. When I hear someone who believes in God make a generality about Atheists being immoral, I am on them like a dog on a bone. Not knowing you, Guest, I have every reason to respect you and believe that you are a moral person.
Believing in God is not a prerequisite for living a moral life. And believing in God doesn't "make" anyone moral. The proof of morality is in the pudding.

I am very specifically challenging a reverse kind of statement to the one you are talking about Guest: That religious people have less empathy. Mostly, I am bothered by negative generalityies.

I guess you could say that, in general, I don't like generalities. :-)
