If you don't believe in God, then it stands to reason you must be in favor of giving heroin to kids and rape.
Why can't you see the double standard.

Is fear of god the only reason you are not out raping and giving heroin to kids?
What double standard are you talking about? I am an atheist. I am a very moral person. I am good because its good to be good. Its that simple. Morals came about so people will get along in societies. We are social creatures, so living moral lives is rewarding. Get to know an atheist. You may be surprised.

Wow your "logic" assumes that there is in fact a god. Prove that to me and then your "logic is correct. However since you can't prove that you have made yourself look extremely umd. There is absolutely NO truth or merit to your statement. You are the double standard.

I'm not an atheist but find this question quite ignorant. Just because somebody is an atheist doesn't mean they have no common sense and morals/values ... I've met some atheists with better morals and values than some Christians.

You confuse theism with moralism. You can be perfectly moral and not believe in the supernatural. Its typical evangelical arrogance that makes them think they have a monopoly on moral virtues.
To quote Lee Marvin from the musical Paint your Wagon:
My these Christians are greedy!

Wow, your definition of reason doesn't match any that I am aware of. Are you saying that the only thing that prevents you from doing such horrible deeds is your fear of going to hell? I find those things repulsive, and I know that I will completely cease to exist once I die. And I can think of all sorts of ways to reason why I find those things repulsive, without invoking gods, immortal souls, or afterlifes.

I see the double standard now! Atheists have to make sense, but theists don't.

Here is one for you:
Since you do believe in God then you must be in favor of burning puppies and beastiality.
I don't support those things.

The double standard? Are you kidding me? Have you actually read the bible or are you just blowing smoke out of your as.s?! The so called Holy Bible is rife with rape, pedophilia and drug use. Open your eyes. It might do you some good.
