Every single breath you draw as an atheist means you're doing something evil, because your heart is not giving thanks to your source of air. Without thanks, nothing is kosher, so to speak.
It's possible that God acted through you as an instrument to save the child for whatever reason (He did such a thing to help Daniel out), but no, it would not be a good act for you.

Well, nothing is kosher. In fact, doing nothing on a Saturday is about as kosher as you can get.
Xtian fundies, meanwhile, are as trayf as a bacon and shrimp sandwich, with butter, after sunset on Yom Kippur.
No, Atheists aren't inherently evil. Unfortunately, I have met fellow Christians that are worse that some Atheists and supposedly they (the Christians) should be already thanking Jesus Christ for everything and are removed of evil.
Okay, fine, I'll say a prayer of thanks.
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy narcissism and attention-whoring.
Happy now?
No you're the evil one because you breathe and believe in non-existent phantoms like God while formulating fatuous things to write on forums. There's probably no heinous act that you wouldn't commit if you thought that what you were doing was the will of something that doesn't exist. In other words, any evil you do comes from your own deranged mind.
Like the fatuous things that I write on forums come from my own deranged mind. But at least I don't say that a fantasy being made me write them.
Okay,
Thank you big-bang for the hydrogen and the helium.
Thank you stars for the carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, and more helium.
Thank you supernovae for the heavy elements that produce yet more helium through trapped alpha decay.
It is by your grace that we have air to breath and balloons that float.
I thank thee, cyanobacteria, green algae and great forests of the world, for this air that I breathe.
If rationality is evil, then call me evil. I'll be confused and slightly offended, but guilted into believing you? Forget it.
If you want me to believe you, bring me something indisputably miraculous and of your religion. Emotional arguments and "I discovered Jeebus and my acne went away!" just don't cut it.
So I'm supposed to thank god every time I inhale?(Okay, so I did back in the days when I was smoking the good stuff?)
No wonder fundies never get anything done.
What the fuck does any of this have to do with bodybuilding.
Damn it, keep your stupid religious bullshit to your own boards.
You're so close, Beatitude. C'mon, say it. You know you want to. You want to kill all atheists. You just lack the courage to either admit it, or act upon it.
Thank you, green and growing plants, for all our precious oxygen.
That's as kosher as I'm likely to get.
I'm not convinced even the first Christians thought it necessary to go THAT far in adulating God. Besides, the atheists presumably have two of the three clauses from Micah 6:8 down pat (love justice, do mercy, walk humbly with God; I think you can guess which one doesn't classify), so this is presumably at least strongly good.
Never mind that while it can be said you're trying to walk with God, I'm not convinced you got the "humbly" part right.
So fucking what? You want to think I'm evil for being alive then go right ahead, I couldn't care less, but it's dishonest to claim I'm not thankful for anything just because I don't give thanks to your God. It's also dishonest to claim that I can do no good because I don't believe in your God. Hell, don't you ever get tired of God controlling everything and still never doing any real good instead of tiny things that can be attributed to the influence of people?
So people can't take credit for their altruistic actions. It's always God doing it.
When I was a Christian, this did wonders for my self-esteem.

Thanks gravity for keeping the air on earth

Eh, this is stupid, inanimate processes don't even appreciate my thanks.
Breathing is sinful?
What about farting?
According to this idiot, I was a perfect little angel until the age of 22, and haven't done a single good deed since.
Never mind the clothes I've donated to Goodwill, or the tutoring I've done, or the money I've given to various causes. Nope, every time I think I'm doing a good deed, I'm actually doing evil, because I'm no longer Christian.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
