Thus the possiblity of being a lier and or corrupt or without a basis for morality, so that would make anyone who doesn't understand athiesism distrustful
Funny how the Christian population is so distrustful of atheists for the potential of sinful practise they are supposedly capable of due to not having been saved.Yet by the same token I have yet to meet a "saved" Christian who also was incapable of commiting a sin of one sort or another.There seems to be a great tendency among us humans to observe the faults of others while remaining quite blind and ignorant of our own.It is easier to be someone else's mirror than to take take a good look at our own reflection eh?
It is my personal observation that the faith {or lack thereof}a person claims to aspire to has little,if anything, to do with morality or even common decency. As an atheist it is not often that I have to deal with people giving me grief for my position.On those rare times when I do I usually am forceful enough in my discussion with these people to end the matter before they have the opportunity to get too worked up.
