Born Again Atheist
Divorced and 40 something years old living in Idaho. I was raised as a christian, became an atheist when I became old enough to think for myself. Love to ski, hike/backpack, run, bicycle, and anything outdoors. Truly love and appreciate nature. Have one daughter and two grandchildren. My daughter survived childhood cancer. I'm a liberal living in conservative Idaho - help me!
Do you say either or either?
Pronounced with an e sound or an i sound?
11 AnswersPolls & Surveys1 decade agoWho do you think has better morals?
Christians because they have the bible that tells them what morals to have, but can be forgiven of their sins just by accepting Christ as their savior. Eternal damnation seems to have gone the way of the old testament. A murderer can be forgiven simply by accepting Jesus as their savior?
Atheists while not believing in sins against a god also know that they will not be forgiven. I don't believe that atheists are without morals just because they don't follow the teachings of the bible.
Which is more likely to be without morals and why?

Has societies acceptance of divorce caused a lack of commitment in marriages? Is this for the better or for the worse as it relates to today's marriages? Were the marriages of past generations better because they did not give in to divorce or were they worse because they were bad marriages that should have ended. Which does more damage to the children involved?

A funny comeback to put the rude asker in their place - but why be as rude and bigoted as the asker it just makes the answerer look bad and everyone else with them. Isn't there enough hate in the world to add to it...
