It is indeed "amazing".

People are people and I only wish some believers were as good as some Atheists and Agnostics I have met. The world would be a much better place.

When I do bad things as we all do I take responsibility for it and when I am good I too can take the credit for it. God has never had anything to do with my decisions and fear of Hell is certainly not a factor in the equation. I think my actions through logically ( mostly !) and use reason and logic. I do not blindly follow like a sheep because of some misguided belief in a supernatural being.

If killing bugs weighs heavily on your conscience, killing people (even when they're child molesters or serial killers) would be unbearable for soft hearted people.
I do not call myself soft hearted or hard hearted, because although I'm soft heartened most of the time, I've no trouble being perceived as merciless.
Like God I am what I am.

well i should have said i am soft hearted MOST of the time. i have killed bugs before with guilt but never had to kill a person.
bugs dont deserve killing from me because they were just minding their own business, being bugs and usually not hurting anyone (sorta like agnostics or atheists).
please dont say im calling agnostics or atheists bugs now k?
