FYI, people, generally speaking, think I am, just like the rest of us, not better or worse morally than others. How about you ?

I am held in high regard in my community and my profession morally. I am married and faithful ( I live in small town, if I weren't, everyone would know...).

The people I know understand that I am a Christian, and live like one as best I can. I do not think that my 'moral quotient' is ever considered. They know I sin just like everyone, but also know I trust in Jesus to forgive

My friends at work believe me to be more moral than most people they know. My pastor's sons, who are in the bible study group I lead probably see me as below average for leaders at church. My wife knows that the only comparison that matters is to Christ, and so really, I'm just a work in progress.
My pastor made a good statement about it last Sunday - "Who you are in private is who you really are. And the three most important people already know what you do in private - yourself, God (the only judge), and Satan (the accuser)

I'm the only atheist in my family. I'm also the only one of my siblings who still has custody of all her children. (Abusive mother, long story - but the fact remains that I'm the only one who has her children. Who, by the way, are to the same man. Who I'm still with, of course.) To answer your question, yes. Some members of my extended family consider me to be more morally well-grounded than some of my siblings. I'm not sure that I would agree with that, though. My siblings and I were (severely, in my opinion) 'damaged' before we ever had a chance.

People think that I am a little over and above, but it is the way I was brought up and then knowing God from a teenager, I was curbed from a young age. But, I'll tell you the truth, my character have changed many of my close friends and co-workers. Many have confessed to me that "your way of life has changed my life" I think that's cool. Give God the glory.

We all fall short from the glory of God. God's moral law is written to our hearts. Christians accept the standard of God's moral law, because without God's standard of it we are left with human opinions about it. : )

No, people think I'm about as moral as anyone else. Nothing special, just an ordinary guy.

I live my life in such a way no one ever needs comment on my morals.
Sadly, they often do, and seem to put me on a pedastal (sp). I remind them that it's not me who should be considered special, but that others maybe need to do more. I just try to be a decent human being.

Yes, most people do.
But I also come across as very caring and accepting (which I work hard to be)-- so its not as off putting as some people think it can be.

I don't think anyone thinks that, let alone even bothers with the thought.
Although of friends, I am the one least interested in drinking, not much into partying, and not at all into random stuff with random men...and of these friends and me, *I* am the atheist...go figure, huh?
