I'm of the opinion that there are nice and nasty people in both camps really.
I have known many nasty God-believers, but also many nasty atheists.

One only has to peruse the past threads on this site on such subjects as Gay marriage, abortion, and euthanasia, to check out writers from both groups.

I'ts all just part of being human... wherever we come from : )

Thanks Aimee for your kind words. We certainly do have very different beliefs. You have a faith in mother earth, I have a faith in Father God and His Son Jesus Christ. I appreciate your honesty.

btw I don't consider beer or wine as nectar of the devil but hate the way it destroys many lives. In moderation I have no objection to these things.

Suzie seems to think that anyone who opposes the killing of the unborn is nasty. Funny enough it wasn't long back that those who killed the unborn were nasty.

What on earth made you think I was talking about you Runner?

If you read my post again you will see I said there were nasty people from BOTH camps.

I would also suggest there are just as many non-Christians and Atheists who are opposed to abortion, as there are Christians.

One doesn't have to be Christian to have what you consider to be the 'nice' views.

Ah religion - the original con game, the oldest scam on Earth. People, there's no such thing as the supernatural. Not only doesn't it exist, it can't exist - the fundamental laws of physics prohibit it. If ever there was a supernatural event the universe would come to an end. The fact that the universe still exists is proof enough that the supernatural is not real.
All there is in religion is people who want power over you in order to separate you from your money, mess with your mind and in some cases mess with your body. It's a clever little scam as the reward (eternal life) is never paid. It's perfectly obvious that if you're religious you're a fool. Call me a nasty little atheist if you like, but that won't stop you being a fool.

Dear Jewely,
Did you look at the stats on abused children yet?. In Western Australia, the Government announced that those children now much older, who were raised in Orphanages and abused would be compensated for the wrong doings., thus a time period of one year was allowed for those children to lodge a submission. The maximum payout was to be 80,000 dollars for the worst form of abuse and then went on a sliding scale according to the level of abuse. So many submissions were posted that the Premier, Mr.Barnett had to reduce the payment to half that amount. He was visibly shocked when he discovered the amount of abuse meted out to these young people.
The abuse of course, was not just endemic in the Institutional area, but of course in the home, no money was offered to those, (fair enough).
The knowledge of these kids, already without parents, being abused by their so called carers, brought me undone.

My experience with religious people is that they're fine as long as all goes their way. When it doesn't they're right-out hypocrites.
