5. I'm atheist and

I don't "believe" in evil, as one believes in something one cannot see.

So I don't believe in evil, but rather recognize evil when I see it; for instance the perpetration of 9/11, beheading, mullahs/imams whatever spouting their twisted hate calliing for bloodshed, and how some hate others more than they love their own children.

6. It pissed me off...

for the sheer ignorance it displayed. It plays into that belief that atheism provides no moral compass, and thus the atheist cannot distinguish between good and evil. Anyone can recognize evil-it is doing harm to others for one's own benefit. I guess god failed to tell priest that fondling children is evil. I guess god forget to tell puritans that burning women for being "witches" is evil.I guess god forget to mention the inquisition wasn't exactly a good thing. I guess god can't tell people that withholding medical technology that could save lives (stem cells)could be considered evil. I guess god doesn't exactly provide a perfect moral compass for good and evil. I feel better.
