what absolute judgmental nonsense
How dare you presume that no belief in a God means those people are angry or they were unloved as children.
All your comment suggests is that you have led a completely sheltered life, that you can make such an outrageous assumption and generalization.
This science forum is in NO WAY reflective of normal society for starters.
Meanwhile religion IS NO guarantee of kind moral and loving ways, look at the pedophile priests! Suicide bombers, religious hatred between the various religions.
Some people turn away from God after being believers as they are angry with God. Thus they are not truly atheist as you cannot be angry at something that you genuinely believe does not exist.
For those who are without belief, that is perhaps a matter of 'wiring'/lifestyle/exposure/influences BUT it does not make them 'angry' or less decent as people.
grrrrrrrrrr
It is exactly that kind of comment that turns people away from religious folk.
You preach love and kindness and then go and generalise and offend and insult all in one mammoth sweep! If you were capable of practicing what you preach you would NOT make those comments. Your love for others would show an appreciation for where they come from and accepetance that not everyone has to do and be like you.
I know MANY good people and their religious orientation has nothing to do with what measure of goodness they posess.
