  This is absurd. Why don't you hear about atheists volunteering and helping their fellow humans? Because they keep their mouths shut; they have no need to blather on and on about how they're doing it because of Jesus.
  
  And those killed in so-called "atheistic regimes" were not killed "in the name of atheism" but in the name of totalitarian, unrelenting, irrational and intolerant dogmas that brooked no dissent. Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and Kim Jong-Il today considered themselves god-like dictators and demanded utmost loyalty from their people. Sound familiar?

  Casting stones?
  
  
  People can be redeemed. People can be forgiven. Those people can make a difference.

  On the plus side, I have managed not to be a convicted felon and criminal conspirator on federal obstruction of justice charges without being a Christian.
  
  How'd I ever manage that?
  
  Being lectured on morality by Chuck Colson is like being lectured on abstinence by Bill Clinton.

  I apologize if I gave the impression that I believe that living a moral life saves a person.Only the blood of Jesus does that.But I don't think we should act like we are morally superior to anybody.Paul said he was the chief of sinners, but he was no atheist.A little humility is in order, because all have sinned (Romans 3:23).

  Thank goodness your good or bad works don't have any influence with God. And *yes* it is immoral to deny the existence of God. cf Romans 1. If you don't like that, then find another reality to live in.

  I think you make a good point, citizen.It is unfair to classify all atheists with a broad brush stroke. It is possible for an atheist to live a better life morally than a professing Christian.It is not only possible, but I have actually seen it myself.

  John5796: What's immoral about being an atheist? What do you think our "lifestyle" is? Keep in mind that the only thing you can say for sure that all atheists have in common is that we don't believe in gods. The atheist label says nothing beyond that.

  Atheists care only for themselves and their immoral lifestyle. It is good to see them hanging around Christian websites like this because the truth may eventually rub off on them.

  GoldenEagle: You have learned well! Now apply the same level of skepticism to gods...

  Until it can be shown that there are atheists helping the poor in Africa and Calcutta, we have to assume they don't exist.
