{8^D har. Actually Mike, exactly the opposite is true. After I
became an atheist, I became a much more moral, ethical and
circumspect person methinks. When one has no moral framework
handed to one, no simple written-out code of conduct, no god
to impute righteousness and to forgive one's sins, the whole morality
scene becomes one's own responsibility. This is difficult, and
thus unpopular with the masses of humanity. Lets face it,
atheism is not exactly catching on like wildfire. I fear if anything
it is losing ground to superstition. {8-[

Today my exerience with "sin" is all talk and no do, whereas had
I not discovered atheism it might have been all do and no talk. spike
