You weren't afraid at all about your actions influence on the society as a whole and how that will change the actions of all the people around you?
If he hated a person enough to kill them he probably wouldn't care about that person's friends either. lol Birds of a feather...

I hear people say that without god/religion there would be no morals.

So what if some ridiculous event occurred tomorrow that proved the non existence of god, would you all turn into murderers and rapists? Or
Would you be exactly the same people.
that is an interesting question eg

assume evolution

evolution = survival of the fittest = only the strong pass on their genes THEREFORE Rape is Good

Even if someone don't care about your fellow person, then they must realize the psychological effects that kind of behavior would have on the society around them. It would make it a much more dangerous world to live in for everyone, including for that person.

You mean right now in my Christian life? The fact that I love people now instead of hate them.
I was being mean with you because I don´t agree that atheists are evil. If you personally hated people while an atheist that doesn´t mean all atheists are the same. Not all atheists hate people, as well as not all christians love people.
I read your thread and I am happy that you found love for God and for people. It´s the most important thing in christianity.

Only God living through you, not just in you, can do this none other, only temporary in flesh efforts to benefit the self only, even if it looks so good, for I know to put:

Philippians 3:3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

It's not that atheists are evil, it's that all people are sinners (there is no "good person").

Psalm 119:142-144, "Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, because Your Law is the truth! Trouble and anguish have overtaken us, but Your Laws are our bdelights. The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting, giving us understanding, so we may live,"

Psalm 19:7-10, "The Laws of Yahweh are perfect, converting the whole person. The testimony of Yahweh is sure, making the simple ones wise. The statutes of Yahweh are right, rejoicing the heart; mind. The commandments of Yahweh are pure,
bringing understanding to the eyes. The reverence of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever. The judgments of Yahweh are true and altogether righteous. They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than even much fine gold. They are sweeter than honey and the honeycomb."

how is Rape any good, going against another's free will? I know it is an unfortunate reality, that the after effects need to be dealt with, but is not ever good to take away anyone else's free will.
the only time I see to intervene is on the one taking away the other's free will choice and have done so, and will not hesitate to do intervene on these predators again.
Rape is evil period, any taking away of another's free will is evil, and has no right in doing so.

I agree with you, but God has trust in his creation, have you noticed? I like to say to atheists that "God, in which you say you don´t believe, He believes in you!".

Hmm... i'm being mean to you because i don't like what you said. But love is the most important thing. .... ? Wouldn't it be unloving to be mean to someone just for having a different view of them? I don't see how someone can preach love immediately after being unloving.

I don´t believe that if you tease a person you´re being unloving.

Yes indeed, as Christ said
Matthew 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

and this goes much deeper into all of our inability to be perfect in and of flesh nature, to being born again in the Spirit of God via the cross, mainly the resurrection, after the death first, which is to be our death to self so we can see the new life God freely gives
