Since atheist can point to well written words what are these well written word that atheist use.

Here are some suggestions they can use

The Bible
The Book of Mormon
D&C
Pearl of great price


Why didn't you include Mein Kampf? Your favorite editor was fond of that one.

Precisely! "God with us" indeed! it demonstrates the Old Testament God hadn't changed it all doesn't it? Either accept me or die. Wasn't that some kind of a clasp that absolutely all of Hitler's soldiers wore on their uniform somewhere? I really can't remember all the exact details but I remember that was definitely one of his major campaign issues. He was doing God's work as God's servant.

Wasn't Adolf hitler a atheist. He made up his own morals as a atheist with no moral direction can do. He as a atheist had his own moral personal preferences.

The most notorious genocides were caused by atheist communist leaders governing their atheist communist governments. Without a moral foundation of the scriptures they can make their own morals, "good writings" to quote some one else on this post. That everyone applauded.

The creepy scammers that target the old and confused with LDS-affiliated scams pop up daily.

Interesting? No.

by the way, I understand that Ian McKellen is an atheist. :wink:
Some in prison say they are "believers" in an attempt to get out of jail sooner and continue down their own merry path. Some see where their own path has gotten them and desire a change of lifestyle. Some truly see themselves at the end of their rope without any hope and cry out to GOD. And some are in prison because they are doing GOD's will and they in fact have done nothing wrong ---- society/government simply wants conformists to their agenda.

I would imagine that most people at least wish to appear as though they are doing the "right" thing ---- even atheists. And it is really rather funny that ancient Roman society once believed that "Christians" were in fact atheists! So just let me shake your hand. It seems we are in this cell together :lol:
