2 of the 3 stooges have clearly stated they will lie at the drop of a hat. There is a lack of integrity and honesty. They cannot be believed or trusted. Go back and view their post. Nuff said!
What does integrity have to do with being around to see another day? Integrity is when I walk into someones house and I don't touch the stack of money someone left on the counter. People trust me, when they give me their key, to go in their house to fill their oxygen and not steal anything. If you hold a gun to my head and tell my to worship Ala, I'm going to say anything you want. There's no rule written anywhere saying I need to affirm to anyone that I'm atheist. I don't tell most people in my life that I am because of the negative bias toward atheists. We're more hated than gay people. It's my business what I really believe. Not the people around me.2 of the 3 stooges have clearly stated they will lie at the drop of a hat. There is a lack of integrity and honesty. They cannot be believed or trusted.

I still reject it, and I still have no desire to sin. Clearly indicates that the fear of a wrathful god has effected your behavior, and that sir is a false morality.
It's funny you should mention that. When I view this site on my phone. This is always at the bottom of every page. I see it as an extra bonus. A little extra "sinful thoughts" to brighten up the day. As long as I go home every night to the wife and act on them with her, I'm good. As an aside. I thought it was ok to be gay as long as you don't act upon it? As a straight guys you aren't even aloud to think it. That sux.Have you ever sat in a store waiting for your wife and watching people go by? Have you ever seen a shapely and buxom woman walk by and never had sinful thoughts? Lust? Covetness.
Wow you must be truly miserable. When a man sees an attractive woman, and desires arise, that is nature, that is biology at work, it is our natural drive to reproduce, and 100% normal. And even the smell of a not as attractive woman will bring on these feelings, it is our biology, for the species without that drive soon becomes extinct. To engage in the nonsense that it is a sin is frankly stupid, and self-destructive to the your own self worth. I guess you were also taught as a child that masturbation is a sin, when in fact is absolutely normal.XD: As an unbeliever, you may consider yourself to have no desire to sin yet, we all sin each and every day, in thought, word, and/or deed. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Rom. 3:21. Have you ever sat in a store waiting for your wife and watching people go by? Have you ever seen a shapely and buxom woman walk by and never had sinful thoughts? Lust? Covetness. Been jealous of a neighbors boat, car, or motorcycle? I dare say that we have all had those thoughts and possibly dwelled on them a little more than we should. That is sin if we dwell on those thoughts and take pleasure from them. We have all had a myriad of bad thoughts that are sinful. The apostle Peter wrote to the Christians, "I urge you as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires which war against your soul." I Peter 2:11. If you say you have no desire to sin, I accept your word for it, yet believe we all sin, whether we believe it or not.
False morality probably isn't the best term, and should be referred to as a forced morality, forced out of fear of an vindictive god, but either way, it is not a natural morality where regardless of outside forces, beliefs, or threats of punishment because it is how the individual chooses to treat others.One of your favorite contentions is that Christians fear God. Yes, we all fear God and the Bible admonishes us to do so. "Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." We do not consider that to be false morality. False morality to me is when one goes against accepted societal morality in favor of their own thoughts of right and wrong. That is false and I know you will never agree with that premise because the Bible is the book that has established our morality. Anyway, just my thoughts.
Yes, we all get these pictures. As I said, a fleeting thought isn't sinful. It is when you dwell on them and take pleasure in the lustful thoughts that they become sinful.

I know some believers say they would not be moral people without their beliefs, then it might be considered a positive for religion. The problem is, they were programmed by religion to think like that, and aside from a mental illness would in all likely-hood be decent moral people.
You said "Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." I know you have been taught that all your life (religion programs followers through repetition), but it is far from wisdom, it is surrender to ignorance and superstition.
You sincerely attempt to argue your points and provide what you see as rational reasons, but what I see is someone suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, a psychological phenomenon in which hostages express empathy and sympathy and have positive feelings toward their captors, sometimes to the point of defending and identifying with the captors.
I understand why some reject the Bible. I did until I was 25 and God changed me. “The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.”
**1 Corinthians *2:14-16 *ESV.

XD, you can't understand our rationale because you have not accepted the Lord as your Savior. As long as you are at odds with Him, you will never understand but we do. You have chosen your direction and we have chosen ours. Oddly enough, you can't seem to stop talking about the Lord which indicates to me that you may not be as sincere in your arguments as you like to profess. You can run from Him as long as you like but He will still be there when you decide to look for Him.
The reality is you changed yourself. Self inflicted delusion is the most accurate description. While you 'thing' (believe) god changed you, that is not the case, be it peer pressure, delusion, or fantasy, you did that all on your own, and only you can free your mind form the delusion you now suffer from.
