What makes you want to be nice Mineral MAn? Do you think it is instinct like animals that have instincts?

Please don't tell me that you're another fundamentalist christian of some sort that actually believes without your religion that you'd be out raping and pillaging on a daily basis. The assertion you are trying to make to MM is wholly and completely insulting.

In fact, it very easily could be said that law abiding, nice, non theists are inherently "better" people because they are law abiding and nice without some supernatural deity watching their every move.

I would disagree. If there is no God then to be anything less than totally hedonistic makes no sense.

Well I will tell you that without Moral Code from G-D we could give ourselves an excuse to be mean to people to do all sorts of drugs steal for need. G-D is what prevents us from impulse.
