You should not want to do bad things regardless. Nothing that ever hurts anyone if you can help it. You shouldn't ever want to inflict terror and pain on anyone. I don't want to be hated or feared, I want to be liked. I got all that from good parents by example. We'll never run out of examples of people that failed to learn that from their religion.

Here's some confirmation bias for ya. I went looking for something to tell me atheists are more law abiding and found it. I admit I didn't search much harder.

It does not surprise me that they claim people that believe in a forgiving God are more likely to commit crimes. I always thought that too. Look at the Crusaders? They were promised absolution so they could commit horrific acts even sometimes against other Christians.

To turn it around on my buddy, if I believed I only need to go git me some JAYUSUS and be forgiven, why wouldn't I go out and rape and kill?
