"Another falsehood which some think will become fact if repeated enough. The misleading of people into thinking that those who believe in God do so because they are afraid of retribution is a widespread practice among those of the atheist religion."
"The "fear of God" is the fear that we will displease him, not that he will punish us."
You either ducked or side-stepped, I have no idea which. No matter, I'll just play along by rephrasing my comment.
The first is 'where did the morals we have today originate' and the second is 'how would we act if we did not believe in whatever it is that encourages us to obey God'
There, is that better? You will note that it doesn't change the meaning of my comment at all. Its the belief that counts.
Basically, you are having a conversation with yourself. Have at it,,enjoy.
In any case, Christians don't have the attitude that those in the atheist religion ascribe to them.
