Not one man in a thousand has either strength of mind or goodness of heart to be an Atheist. I repeat, not one man in a thousand has either strength of mind or goodness of heart to be an Atheist.Funny thing is, many atheists are more knowledgeable about Christianity than many Christians.
And an even larger number of atheists are better Christians than Christians.
You would have to qualify such a statement. Because if such ignore God, they surely cannot love Him. And if they do not love God they likely do not care for everyone they encounter.
And one of them, a doctor of the Law, putting him to the test, asked him, "Master, which is the great commandment in the Law?" Jesus said to him, "'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind.' This is the greatest and the first commandment. And the second is like it, 'Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.' On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets." (Matthew 22:35-40)
Nonsense.
Christians hold no monopoly on morality.
An atheist just as capable of loving and respecting his fallow man as any Christian, if not more so.
-- Samuel Taylor Coleridge
