[QUOTE="Tempura, post: 57120878, member: 261878"] These are my experiences. Someone claiming to be an atheist does not lie more (or less) than someone claiming to be Christian. About half or more of the people I know are atheists. Couple of them are very honest. I can ask them anything, and they will provide an honest answer. I know these people well, and I have had no reason to doubt their statements. At the same time I know couple of christians, who are also honest people. I consider myself as a Christian, though not by no means a fundamentalist or "strict" one. I've done my fair share of lying, and probably will continue to do so. Almost always my lies are just white lies, but lies nonetheless. I am not more honest, or not a better person just because I am a Christian. I am well aware of my faults as a person, and there are many. I do wish to better myself, but never in a way that I can tell someone: "I'm better than you". An atheist is not my enemy because he/she is an atheist. He is my fellow human being, and I should treat him/her as such - and it works both ways. Some people fear atheists to the point that they feel that atheists can weaken their faith or have a bad influence. I do not. It's never the belief or lack of belief of others that can hurt us, It's the people themselves. I bet many Christians disagree with me, and that's ok. We can agree to disagree. *waits for tons of Bible verses* [/QUOTE]
