Christians believe that killing will condemn them to an eternity of hellfire. Atheists believe the only consequence to actions in life is if you get caught or at the very worst, guilt. People who have an absolute hatred of a mass group as a whole scare me. It's worse than racism.

Right. So what's that about the Crusades again? Can you tell us what the Pilgrims thought of killing all those Native Americans? Maybe you can explain this to all our troops overseas, who have to kill people regularly. They must be atheists, all of them, right?
Doesn't sound like these Christians are all that nobler than these atheists you're talking about. Sounds like you believe the only consequence to actions in life is when, not if, you get caught by God.
I still wonder how these people fail to see that atheists are aware that there are others, others much like them simply trying to live. That idea right there is the basis of atheist 'morality' if you'd like to call it that.

Don't forget the consequence of the killed person being dead and gone forever. That's a pretty bad consequence.

Most of us can think beyond the consequences to just ourselves, thanks.

Can't be worse than racism, because racism is a subset of "absolute hatred of a mass group as a whole". And hatred of a particular religion is still more justifiable than racism because at least religion is something you can choose about yourself. (That's like saying that Mao was a better leader than Stalin, though - not much of a compliment.)
"People who have an absolute hatred of a mass group as a whole scare me. It's worse than racism."
I completely agree, Cat_Byte. Mob mentality is pretty frightening on its own, but combined with hatred and bigotry? Really bad stuff.

"Christians believe that killing will condemn them to an eternity of hellfire."Is that why Fundies seem to usually support the death penalty and GWB's war-mongering policies?
"Atheists believe the only consequence to actions in life is if you get caught or at the very worst, guilt."
And, that's more than enough to keep us honest.
"People who have an absolute hatred of a mass group as a whole scare me."
Me, too, including those who hate people of other religions or, the scariest, those who hate all atheists.
"It's worse than racism."
No, it's equal to racism.
Even if your argument was true, which it isn't;
People who have an absolute hatred of a mass group as a whole scare me.
Wrong! Christians believe they can kill, rape, steal, etc. and still get a free pass to heaven so long as they profess belief in jeeeeeezus.
Just tell me the difference between Christian ethics, to be caught by God and punished, and the Atheist one(sarcasm). Man, can you stop overbooking pot and kettle?. And talking about racism........he needs a vocabulary class(unless she´s a troll)
Funny, the only ones I see with an absolute hatred of any mass group are fundies, who seem to hate Muslims, gays, atheists, liberals and many other groups.
Fear of punishment is really primitive morality. Mature adults, including atheists, usually go by altruism and the Golden Rule. Mature adults can also understand that racism is hatred of a mass group. Ergo, fundies are not mature adults. Thanks, Kitty.
If Christian morality has to be based on whether I'll suffer eternally if I do bad things, so I'd better do GOOD things out of nothing but fear...I'll stick with my personal morality that lets me do good things simply because I consider them good, and some sky fairy doesn't affect that.
Wait: by this logic, most atheists are better morally than Christians. Christians who do good deeds do it based on hope of a reward, heaven. Atheists do it, not expecting any reward. Who is the better person?
As many pointed out, Christians, especially born again, believe they can erase every evil act.
It's actually their excuse for, well, everything
“People who have an absolute hatred of a mass group as a whole scare me.”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
