I'm an atheist and I have absolutely no desire no smash your head open or eat the goo inside. Nor to I have any desire to rape, rob or vandalise.
I hear this argument a lot from believers. You know... "Without my belief in Christ what is to stop me from murdering and robbing you?" This sort of argument just makes me realize how fucked up religious people really are deep down inside. If their belief in god is the only thing stopping them from committing psychotic/murderous acts then they are seriously fucked up, deranged individuals.
