Atheists put their faith in ethical behavior
(24 Messages)
Fundies often lament that they wouldn't have any morals if G_d didn't dispense them. Who am I to argue? But they evidently don't speak for atheists. I included the quote about the growth of 'nonreligious' Americans just to rub it in.

Salon.com | Troubled teens, troubled parents S heerly Avni's attempt to rationalize behavior which is unethical, immoral and, I believe, should be criminal, is a weak one. There is no excuse for kidnapping an innocent human being ("blue-haired" and "multi-pierced" or no) from her bed and dragging her away in the night.

An MSU extension guy says that ...
