Good acts = faking morality? While being a good person won’t get you to Heaven w/o accepting Christ as your Savior, it doesn’t mean that a person cannot be and behave every bit as morally as a Christian who boasts about his Christianity as if it’s a personal accomplishment instead of an incredible gift (truly faking it despite being saved...). I’ve known a few atheists who, on the whole, behaved every bit as good as, or even better than, a LOT of Christians...it grieves me that these good people will not gain the Kingdom of Heaven...

The actual tragedy of unbelief is just that, trying to be moral and a good person, without the hereafter of joy.

A growing share of Americans could not think there way out of a wet paper bag.

There is no morality without God.

"If God did not exist mankind would be forced to invent Him."

Please understand what I’m saying: if an atheist is good on purpose, the good only comes from the God he denies.
