Atheists don't have the same restrictions.
Indeed. They are even allowed to torture babies for fun. Must be fun having no moral absolutes. Until you are the victim.

Who is "allowed to torture babies for fun"? And "allowed" by whom?

The elephant in the room of course is that it's perfectly possible (and common) to live a life completely void of God and yet be a decent human being.
Your position presupposes that without God in your life you might be minded to go out and torture babies. Indeed, you speak about this so often I fear it is a religiously suppressed desire.

There is a very interesting Biblical verse which touches on this idea.
For when people of the nations, who do not have law, do by nature the things of the law, these people, although not having law, are a law to themselves. Romans 2:14
What is Paul saying other than that non-believers being prompted by the faculty of the conscience act in a similar way to those who have and believe in the Bibles principles. Thus they exercise justice, show kindness and love, wisdom and discernment.

Remember the name of forum title. Remember the actual world you live in - as opposed the one you try to create for yourself here- at times denegrating non-Chrisitians nad others for no reason.
Have a nice day
For all you wishy-washies (and I've met some good 'uns), please don't get offended if your blandness fails to drive any engagement and no one offers their viewpoint. 😛

Indeed sir, and I have quoted that very same passage at least 3 times in the last few months. 🙂
So far, you are first Christian not to try and wriggle out of it and accuse me of taking it out of context. FetchMyJunk in particular doesn't care for it.
